The story began in 1999, when Raffaele Pagano decided to express his opinions on ancient grapes, starting to work on Fiano, Aglianico and Greco, the standard bearer of a territory, Irpinia, dedicated to the viticulture of excellence. Land, this, where the predominance of the thermal excursions, the volcanicity of the soil, the minerality, the peculiarity of the climate, favors high evolutions for white wines and where the cold of its hills generates reds of strength and extreme elegance. Uniqueness of a Wine, therefore, experience of a territory.
"From the beginning, we wanted to look for these grapes, their best expression, giving a meaning, a subjective interpretation to the word" VINIFICATION. "The thought is simple, it is direct, the idea is to produce unique pieces.
We produce, if there are the conditions of vintage, if mother nature allows us. To do this we have a "Bunker" ... the Cellar.
