    Winemaker Notes

    This rare, old Campanian variety, which is not unlike Viognier in profile, was thought lost until the 1990s, when Pepe Mancini, a local winegrower reintroduced cuttings.

    This single-vineyard wine takes its name, Acqua Vigna, from the fact that the vines are planted on a slope lying within an oxbow of the Volturno river. Fermentation takes place in a small steel tank at controlled temperature. The wine is aged sur-lie in tank with battonage for about seven months, followed by six months in bottle. No malolactic.

    Antonio Buono purchased the estate in 1990s and set himself the goal of producing great wines from the indigenous grape varieties of Campania: Aglianico, Fiano, Pallagrello Nero and Pallagrello Bianco. This very young and small estate, only 25 acres, is located north of the town of Caserta in an ancient and unspoiled agricultural land near Caiazzo. The vineyards are located on the Selvanova hill at an altitude of 650 feet above sea level facing full south.

    Selvanova farms using organic viticultural practices and use limited amounts of sulphur and copper. They keep wild grass and sow several herbs to nurture the soil to reinforce the air flow in the vineyard. They have recently decided to reduce the vineyard surface for a better control and management. The Aglianico Vignantica is certified organic as of the 2015 vintage. Selvanova also prohibits the use of animal based products in their winemaking, therefore all their wines Vegan friendly.

    The Aglianico displays great finesse and complexity without relying on extraction, as too often happens with southern Italian red wines, and it provides a clear example of what this outstanding grape variety can achieve. The Pallagrello Nero is a recently rediscovered ancient local variety (probably already known to the ancient Romans) that is tannic yet characterized by very high acids, making it very fresh and lithe for such a powerful wine, besides being very age worthy.

    Italian White Wine

    The rolling hills and endless coastlines of Italy deliver a unique diversity of soils and climate to foster a number of regional specialties. With a multitude of indigenous varieties that thrive exclusively here, the selection of white wines offers a range of styles and flavors.

    The most well-known white variety in Italy is of course Pinot Grigio. Typically found in the northern Italian regions, the light, fresh and easy-drinking options can be found in the Veneto region, while the richer, more complex styles come from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. These two northeast regions are also crafting delicions Pinot Bianco and a regional specialty, Friulano.

    In Piedmont, two white regions shine. The crisp and zippy Gavi, made with a Cortese grape, and Arneis, a variety that produces a subtle by dry wine. In the Veneto, the Garganegna grape creates the wine of Soave, a zesty but medium-bodied wine full of rich stone fruit and floral notes.

    Further south, you'll find the pretty and floral Falenghina, rich and tropical Grillo and zesty Greco. Head to Sicily to discover the delicious and complex Etna Biancos, made with the Carricante grape in the island's volcanic soils.

    If you enjoy a tangy but textured white wine with seafood, head to Sardinia and try out the Vermentino there. The grape is also found in other Italian provinces and is always a delight.
