Winery
Fattoria La Rivolta was founded more than a century and a half ago, in the Torrecuso district of the same name, in the province of Benevento, and covers about 60 hectares, all owned by the Cotroneo family, growing 100% organic wine certified by ICEA and working exclusively with native Sannio grape varieties such as falanghina, coda di volpe, fiano, greco, aglianico and piedirosso. The winery is located inside an old stone farmhouse dating back to the early 1800s, which houses the cooperage and bottling area. The production phase is all in-house, from hand-picking the grapes in the vineyards surrounding the winery to processing them. The focus has always been on low production per hectare. Since 2001 the winery has been under European Organic Certification (ICEA). The vines are all DOP and DOCG branded from native grapes of the Sannio subzone Taburno area, eliminating any production of international or non-typical vines from one of the Italian areas with the highest quality wine vocation. This is confirmed by the many awards from consumers and critics, achieving, in addition, countless prizes from guides all over the world.
Description
Piedirosso is an indigenous vine from Campania, called "Per e Palummo" (pigeon's foot) by the ancients because of the reddish color of the stalk of its grain and the branching of its leaves, resembling the pigeon's foot. Cultivated with great care by the Fattoria La Rivolta winery, it reflects its simple and straightforward profile, which tells with authenticity a vine that, especially in recent years, is carving out more than positive criticism.
