Rich in ancient history of Samnite origin, Irpinia was inhabited in the VII century B.C. from the Greeks, who had inherited from the Hellenes, who were their ancestors, the cult of Dionysus and his bacchantes, making this land the home of the “Hellenic vitis” from which Aglianico derives its name.
Irpinia is characterized by a heterogeneous landscape variety, designed by mountains, hills, valleys and plateaus. The territory has a strong and unique identity in the world for the peculiarities of the subsoil and the climatic conditions.
Nowadays, the terroir of Irpinia presents a great wealth of mineral micronutrients. More superficial layers are formed by stratified limestone, while the hills and valleys are made up of deposits of arenaceous and clayey materials. The soils mainly show a well-balanced texture, clay-free, with frequent stoniness.
The Mediterranean climate exposes the territory to cold and wet winters and hot summers, with high temperature variations between day and night.
The balance between the climate, the vine and the soil is perfect. A balance that has become more and more harmonious over the centuries, giving birth to wines with supreme features, which are characterized by aromatic complexity, a velvety, full and elegant taste, an intense and delicate aroma.
