Tenuta Vincenzo Nardone - Vinà

Pupo says “of the more than 300 producers there are perhaps 4-5 who work the vineyard with awareness. They try to bring out all its potential and features. All its territoriality. An apparently trivial principle. 'I have some vineyards and I make a wine that tells it, that has the flavor of the place it comes from’. But, in the vast majority of Italy and the world, it is not this way. Because we prefer the shortcut of synthetic products, capable of giving us wines that are always clean, perfect, homologated and non-identifying'. They mimic industrialists using chemicals and synthetic fertilizers and then retire to terraced houses, pale imitations of the American homes they see in television programs on their giant plasma screens.

Nicola, aka Pupò, has been one of our favorite winemakers for his wise, genuine and sincere insights about not only the terroir of his region but also the aesthetics which have changed in the landscape and architecture.  This is also a family-run winery since 810.  Nicola balances the traditions of Italy with the influences the US has brought here - including his lovely wife Sarah.  Enjoy this fresh and sincere Aglianico which deeply respects the territory.  Only 160 cases produced per year.
