Winery | The Aglianico grapes are produced in a historic vineyard named "Dal Re". This historic region of the Apennine countryside is known as Irpinia and it has a unique terroir and climate in which vineyards coexist with fruit trees, olives, and aromatic herbs. The winds here divert a beneficial rainfall which creates a microclimate in Irpinia that differs from Campania, The winters though brief are snowy and cold and the summers can be wet and prolonged. The soils are volcanic, sandstone, and marl. Each vineyard is closely monitored with a meteorological station, and the technologies of the new state-of-the-art wine cellar ensure that each vintage comes as close to perfection as possible. By the sustainable Equalitas certification, the vineyards are cultivated using ecological practices to maintain the equilibrium of the environment. Soil and fertilizer management strategies are employed, pesticides are not used, biodiversity is positively encouraged and weeding does not take place between the rows of vines. |
