Born from carefully selected Greco grapes grown on estate-owned land in Santa Paolina, nestled in the breathtaking natural setting of Castelmozzo—where, in 1978, the first 8 hectares were purchased—this area marks the starting point of the rebirth of viticulture in Irpinia, a land with exceptional vocation. If angels bridge the gap between earth and sky, then these could only be the Terre degli Angeli—“Lands of the Angels.”
The harmonious combination of the ancient Greco grape, the clay-limestone soil, and the unique hillside environment gives this wine elegance and personality. Its defining traits include minerality, structure, and vibrant acidity.
Following cold maceration of grapes harvested in mid-October, fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature after cold settling of the must. The wine then undergoes careful aging on fine lees for several months.
Tasting Notes
Deep straw-yellow in color, this wine offers elegant fruity aromas of apple, peach, apricot, and light vegetal hints. On the palate, it is soft with excellent acidity and refined structure. Flavors of ripe fruit and a touch of bitter almond are present, and the wine evolves beautifully with age.
Food Pairings
Ideal with substantial first courses, shellfish, grilled fish dishes, buffalo mozzarella, poultry, and chilled preparations.
