The Company, whose land is located in the areas of the DOC Guardiolo, the D.O.C. Solopaca and in the I.G.T. Beneventano, they produce 10,000 bottles of selected wines, from 4 hectares of vineyards of their property. Through a careful work of research, particularly on wines produced from the Falanghina and Aglianico vineyards, they have achieved results more than they had expected. Among other well known grapevines are the Sangiovese, Trebbiano Toscano, Malvasia of Candia, Montepulciano and various local native grapevines such as Agostinelli, the Tri'b (e) daq white berry and Grape Longa with red berry.

Tasting note: In the vineyards at the feet of Mount Taburno, they have found a fertile land to cultivate the Aglianico grape. The Aglianico is a wine with an intense ruby red colour with a strong scent of red fruits, such as; plums and blueberries. It has a tannic taste but at the same time soft and smooth.
