Winery
Located on the slopes of the Taurasi hills, in one of the most vocated areas of Irpinia, the Nativ winery stands in the heart of Paternopoli Land rich in history and tradition, where Mario Ercolino internationally renowned oenologist and Maria Roberta Pirone, "specialized in food science" are a couple who successfully devote themselves to the production of wines derived from native vines of Irpinia, with the aim of making Wines of Excellence resulting from an important and deep-rooted experience in the field. The company founded in 2008, is dedicated to the production of typical wines of the territory, in particular , Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Falanghina, Aglianico and Aglianico di Taurasi. The grapes are grown on estate-owned soils, known for their particular fertility due to their volcanic soil, and cover about 15 hectares, between Paternopoli and Taurasi. The name NATIV was therefore born to represent, through native productions, the origin of Irpinian Viticulture, thus delineating, the concept of "native of the place." The peculiarities of the territory and the mountains (due to its proximity to the Picentini Mountains) of the Mediterranean climate determine strong productive distinctions and situations of extreme originality and heterogeneity in the wines of the area, giving rise to wines with supreme characteristics, which are characterized by aromatic complexity, a velvety, full and elegant taste, an intense and delicate aroma.
