Red wine produced only with Aglianico grapes from our vineyard located in the municipality of Montemarano in the province of Avellino at 450m above sea level. The bunches are harvested manually and transported to the cellar in small boxes to avoid crushing the berries. After fermentation, the wine ages in oak barrels of various capacities for about 12 months, in steel for 12 months and in bottle for other 12 months.
