“… in addition to temples and philosophy, the Greeks left a red grape vine. It was a Hellenic grape and over time became the Aglianico”
“… now the roots dig in the clay and in the limestone as the shoots on the soil stretch themselves out to the sun.”
Just one small vineyard on the brow of the hill, overlooking the valley of Alento river. 300m up on sea level. Calcareous clay soil rich in stones (typical Cilento flysch), 20-25% slope, south-southwest exposure.
Approximately 15000 plants of the Aglianico, Fiano, Falanghina and Barbera varieties on three hectares, lovingly trained on guyot.
Dense rows at 2 metres and 20 cm, the plants at 80-90 cm in the row.
Organic cultivation, with self-produced compost.
