About the Winery
We were born in a sea of emotions. Contrasting, true, sincere.
At the center of a centuries-old and uninterrupted crossroads: people, stories, flavors, scents, madness, know-how, contaminations, opposite cultures, genuineness, art, passion, colors, beliefs, spirituality, magic, contradictions, excellence, cunning, wisdom, joys and pains.
Life celebrated in all its facets. All in a bright, blue wave. A feeling that stays in the eyes and doesn’t go away from the mind and heart if you have the luck to come here at least once in your life.
Imagine for those who were born here: it is an indispensable way of life, a DNA that comes out everywhere and in everything.
Starting from the sea of Ischia in 1899, we embarked on a centuries-old journey through the Campania lands, from the Amalfi Coast to the Neapolitan and Salernitan inland, making the most of all the traditions of this corner of paradise.
Our greatest success? Bringing a sip of Mediterranean traditions and culture, irreplaceable and unique, into every glass of our distilled, liqueur, elixir or syrup.
Campania
The region has strong historical links to wine and vine, dating back to the 12th Century BC, and is one of Italy's very oldest wine regions. The considerable influence of ancient empires, including the Greeks, Romans and Byzantines, means some of this area's varieties have historical legends attached. The area is also famous for producing Falerno (Falernum), one of the most ancient wines in Italy.
Despite being ensconced in tradition, today's wine styles can range from fruit forward and youthful to robust and well-structured. The whites are known for their aromatic characters, often redolent of the local flora. The reds (mainly from Aglianico) have big personalities which require a little aging.
Dynamic and innovative methods have helped improve the quality of Campania's wines, specifically through better vineyard management, harvesting methods and cellar techniques.
A particularly notable name in the world of Campania wine is Antonio Mastroberardino. His pioneering combination of tradition and innovation make him the most respected, experienced and knowledgeable winemaker of the area.
The region is home to a quartet of DOCGs; Aglianico del Taburno, and Taurasi for red wines, plus Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo for whites. There are also 15 DOCs and ten IGPs, including the region-wide designation. source: wine-searcher.com
