Cellar
Situated 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, a land rich in history and tradition, where Mario Ercolino, an internationally renowned oenologist, and Maria Roberta Pirone, a 'food science specialist', are a couple who successfully dedicate themselves to the production of wines from native Irpinia vines, with the aim of making Wines of Excellence, the result of important and deep-rooted experience in the sector. The company, founded in 2008, is dedicated to the production of wines typical of the territory, in particular, Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Falanghina, Aglianico and Aglianico di Taurasi. The grapes are cultivated on their own land, known for its particular fertility due to the volcanic soil, and extend over about 15 hectares, between Paternopoli and Taurasi. The name NATIV was therefore created to represent, through the native productions, the origin of Irpinian Viticulture, thus delineating the concept of 'native of the place'. The peculiarities of the territory and the mountain (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, characterised by aromatic complexity, a velvety, full and elegant taste, and an intense and delicate aroma.
Description
The name 'Suadens' was chosen to represent the persuasive character of this wine, which constitutes a molecular project aimed at enhancing not only the indigenous Irpinia grape varieties, but also the typical local fruit grown exclusively in this area, such as peach bellella from Melito Irpino. It is a well-balanced and smooth wine thanks to the brief passage in barriques.
