Briefly address
Tenuta Sant’Agostino is a young family-run business that exclusively produces
grapes of its own production. We participate firsthand in all production
processes, from cultivation to pruning to the harvesting and selection of the
best grapes, for a vinification that guarantees respect for the territory.
Our vineyards are in "bioconversion" (with biodynamic cultivation) and they
are located at about 160-mt s.l.m, in the splendid setting of the Municipality of
Solopaca, in the Beneventano area, an area previously known as Sannio. Our
lands, which have always been predisposed to viticulture, are immersed in a
suggestive valley between Mount Taburno and the river Calore.
The company has experimented an innovative project called "Back to the
origins" which involves the vinification and the maturing in terracotta
amphorae lined with besswax and porcelain stoneware amphorae.
Refining in amphora gives to the wines very particular aromas that enhance the
delicate primary fragrances of white flowers and of citrus fruits, making them
intense and complex.
The production is monitored by our winemaker Vincenzo Mercurio who,
following the company philosophy, ensures respect for nature in all its forms,
with its time and its needs.
