Territory and wine style

The Vigna Cicogna is located in Tufo, in the province of Avellino, in the heart of the Greco di Tufo DOCG denomination. The vineyard is situated at about 500 meters above sea level, with an east-facing exposure and mixed clay-sandy soils with underlying sulfur veins: elements that help define the bold and territorial profile of this wine. The late harvest, carried out at the end of October, and the maturation in steel on fine lees help preserve freshness, aromatic integrity, and a balanced texture, without excess.
