TERREDORA DI PAOLO – Since 1978 Terredora has been a key player in Campania’s viticultural renaissance. The estate is located in Irpinia, a hilly area, not far from the Gulf of Naples where wine has been produced since the Greeks and Romans era. By combining experience and tradition, Terradora has introduced in its own historic, indigenous vineyards, innovation and technical knowledge. Their commitment is to fill the glass with the taste of this fascinating and generous land, thanks to the benefits of volcanoes and the sun.

TENUTA CAVALIER PEPE – The Pepe Family is an ancient one in Irpinia, which has been dedicated to the production of wines for generations, marketed throughout Italy and internationally. Thanks to the characteristics of its terroir, such as climate and soil, Irpinia has long been known as a land of viticulture. In addition to boasting three of the southern Italy’s most prestigious DOCG wines - Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo -, Irpinia has many notable DOC wines, including Coda di Volpe and Falanghina.

AZIENDA AGRICOLA CASA SETARO – The company is located in Trecase, in the province of Naples, in the Vesuvius National Park. Since 1995 it has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
