About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyard is a single amphitheater-shaped site in the central part of the municipality of Castelfranci, in the province of Avellino, at 500 metres above sea level. The soils are mainly limestone and clay, with areas of yellow sandstone rich in organic matter. Farming is carried out in harmony with the surrounding environment, and fruit and olive trees, oaks and meadow grasses grow among the vines.
