Geological events largely determine the surface landscape of Campania. Extinct volcanoes remain a permanent part of the landscape, and create a "terroir" in which typical grape varieties flourish. This provides its not too rich soil, with a perfect water balance. This works perfect for the grapevines, resulting in its extra minerality and vivacity. For ages people have been active in wine- and olive-growing, pushing its quality standard forward the past decades. Influenced by brothers Pietro and Luca, in 2004 Iorio decided to largely invest in modern techniques, resulting in a tremendous boost for the Azienda. Today, the domain is a wonderful and ultra modern site, decisively producing top brands ! Furthermore, the best Aglianico's equal the best wines from the north, in force as well as shelf life , giving them the nickname "Barolo from the South".

Deep, dark color tending to purple. In the nose we find a lot of ripe fruit of cherries, blackberries, mon cheri and hints of violet and red flowers. On the palate, this lush but wonderfully mild character continues under the guidance of fine and soft tannins. Long, juicy finale that makes you irresistibly want more.
