Perched on a volcanic hill surrounded by vineyards and woods, it collects the legacy of a historical area and projects it into the future with a contemporary vision and language. It rises in the capital of Greco di Tufo DOCG in the heart of Irpinia, on a hilly ridge, to the right of the Sabato river. The grapes come from selected plots in the most suitable areas and are grown up to 700 meters above sea level, where the strong temperature range enhances its aroma. The soil is varied between clayey, calcareous, sandy and with ashes from Vesuvius.

Aglianico, brought to Southern Italy by the Greeks (the name derives from the ancient Hellenic), is the most important and representative variety of Southern Italy. Complex vine that requires great attention and skill for its processing.
It gives life to the precious red wines princes of Southern Italy: it is no coincidence that it is called the "Nebbiolo of the South". The harvest is carried out strictly by hand, the grapes placed in boxes and transported to the cellar, where they are selected during the destemming phase.
8 years of aging soften the tannins, covering them with softness and pleasantness as they enter the palate. Strength comes later. The eternal wine we wanted to create.
Magnificent ruby red colour. Intense nose of cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry, with hints of sweet spices of cinnamon, black pepper, wet earth and dark chocolate. Fine, warm and enveloping sip with elegant and balanced tannins in a softness completed by a pleasant freshness on the finish. Ideal for savory first courses, red meats prepared in long cooking, semi-mature and aged cheeses.
