Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola seek out old vineyards in Irpinia, high in the hills of Campania. They champion and preserve the region’s native varietals, old vines and an age old way of tending them.

The vines are set at altitude and are planted over the region’s vibrant volcanic soils. Vineyard work is done by hand, organically and a combination of great farming and low yields results in healthy, characterful fruit. In the cantina, Antonio takes a no-nonsense approach with the intention of letting this terroir express itself in full. The grapes ferment naturally without temperature control and fermentation can continue for months.

A true field blend of grapes red and white from an old vineyard in Montemarano. Aglianico, Primitivo, Piedirosso, Coda di Volpe and more spent two days on skins, before being pressed off to old chestnut casks for six months of rest. There is a beautiful brightness to the fruit here, with red cherry, smoke and minerals offering refreshment in spades.
