Territory and wine style

This Irpinia DOC comes from different parcels between Tufo, Mirabella Eclano, and Lapio, three areas that clearly tell the richness of Irpinia. The Greco comes from a marl-sandy soil with clay and limestone, the Falanghina from a hill with clay presence, while the Fiano originates from a vocated area of Lapio, characterized by clayey soils and a layer of lapilli that contributes to the water availability of the vines. The result is a Campanian white that combines freshness, structure, and complexity, with an authoritative and modern style.
