La Guardiense tells the story of one of the most representative cooperative realities of Campania, capable of uniting significant numbers, territorial identity, and a modern vision of viticulture. This selection gathers wines from Sannio and Guardia Sanframondi that clearly express the character of Falanghina, Aglianico, Piedirosso, and the sparkling versions crafted by the winery.
A winery symbol of the Benevento Sannio
Founded in 1960 by 33 members, La Guardiense is now a highly significant agricultural cooperative, with about a thousand members and over 1,500 hectares of vineyards cultivated on hills, at about 350 meters above sea level. An extensive and well-rooted viticultural heritage that gives rise to grapes destined for authentic and recognizable interpretations of the Sannio DOC, Sannio DOP, and Guardia Sanframondi DOP denominations.
The winery has managed to evolve while maintaining a strong connection to local tradition, investing in technology and practices attentive to environmental sustainability, also thanks to the use of renewable energy from photovoltaic systems. This balance between roots and innovation is reflected in the wines present in the collection, which range from the freshest and most immediate expressions to the more structured reserves.
