"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.Vinification is an instinctual, unique process each vintage: Antonio currently owns a wide array of aging vessels, including oak and cherry wood barrels, demi-muits, stainless steel tanks, fiberglass and amphoras home-made by Daniela. Each year, the wine ends up where Antonio feels it needs to be.
Winemaking: Each grape is vinified seperately and sees four days of maceration. The grapes are then pressed, blended and racked to old chestnut casks."-Loius Dressner Selections
