This wine is parted of the NATURE line launched in 2019. Each wine has a two letter name: Na for the bianco, Tu for the rosato and Re for the rosso.

Winemaking:The grapes are destemmed and macerate for three weeks then aged in chesnut casks for nine months. 

Cantina Giardino is a joint venture between six friends with the goal to preserve old vineyards and native grape varieties in and around Irpinia, a mountainous town in the heart of Campania Headed by Antonio and Daniela di Gruttola, the project sources fruit from 16 distinct and often quite distant parcels

 In total, this represents about six hectares and includes a 2.5 ha plot that the couple recently purchased. From the beginning, the aim has been to source older vines (50+) from contadini who have been working traditionally for generations but were at risk of having to abandon or uproot their land.
