Wine is meant to be drunk! Says Pupo - aka Nicola Nardone. He is the soul of the volcanic estate in Venticano, Province of Avellino and makes wines full of soul and substance.
He graduated in viticulture and oenology at the University of Bordeaux with all the fancy people and took over the family business in 2004. Madly in love with his own land and in constant search for experimentation, he now produces identity wines with a strong territorial connotation, all children of clean and sustainable agriculture - in stark contrast to the rigidity and rigor of the Bordeaux wine tradition school.
Needless to say, the results are amazing.
He grows the typical grapes of this beautiful area: Greco, Coda di Volpe, Falanghina and Aglianico. The Estate pursues the Organic Forest philosophy, as close as possible to nature’s way: the vineyards are rich of spontaneous grass, no herbicides or pesticides are used, and the works are done completely by hand. No sulphites in the wine making process.
Pupo’s wines are intense, rich and lively, like his character. We are sure you will hear his name very often in the next future, and we are proud to have his creations in our selection.
