Alfonso Rotolo Winery: authentic and characterful wines from Cilento
The collection Alfonso Rotolo Winery gathers a selection of wines that tell the story of Cilento through two native grape varieties that symbolize the territory: Fiano and Aglianico. These labels are born in a hilly context, close to the sea, where the mild climate and clay-limestone soils contribute to defining elegant, intense wines with great personality.
This selection is designed for those seeking Campanian wines that can combine territorial identity, winemaking precision, and drinkability. The bottles from the Alfonso Rotolo winery express well the vocation of Cilento, with clear aromas, balanced structure, and a persistence that makes them suitable for both everyday consumption and more refined occasions.
The Alfonso Rotolo winery and the territory of Rutino
The Alfonso Rotolo winery is located in Rutino, in the heart of Cilento, in the province of Salerno, on a hill about 400 meters above sea level. The connection to the territory is central: the vineyards develop in an environment marked by favorable microclimatic conditions, which enhance the characteristics of Fiano and Aglianico. The company’s history, which began with a vineyard planted in 1938, testifies to a long winemaking tradition that is now carried on with care and attention across about 10 hectares of vineyards.
Production focuses on wines with a territorial imprint, with limited yields and careful control of every phase, to preserve aromatic finesse and expressive integrity. This choice is reflected in the profiles of the wines present in this collection, designed for those who appreciate authentic and recognizable labels.
