MATTODA'
Irpinia Doc Campi TaurasiniPreview
Part of the Fonzone Estate, the Aglianico vineyard in Paternopoli extends along two sides of a well-ventilated hill at an altitude that varies from 360 to 430 meters above sea level. It is bounded by the Fredane and Ifalco streams. The excellent exposure, clay soil and very low yields translate to an extremely high-quality raw material. The grapes from which the Mattoda’ Irpinia DOC Campi Taurasini is obtained are harvested at the height of their ripeness and their varietal characteristics are strictly honored throughout the winemaking process.
