Cellar
The winery was born out of Stefania Barbot and her husband Erminio's desire to experience nature in freedom in an uncontaminated place far from the usual metropolitan spaces and times, their passion for the Irpinia landscape, and their ambition to create a great wine that expresses the territory of origin. With tenacity, they have transformed a dream into a real life path, giving birth to the winery in Paternopoli.
