AZIENDA AGRICOLA FIORENTINO (Campania)

Azienda Agricola Fiorentino is a winery located in the small rural village of Paternopoli, at the center of Taurasi DOCG appellation in the province of Campania. The winery was built out of a strong family tradition over 100 years in the making, when in 1914, the patriarch of the family, Luigi Fiorentino, left Italy to find work in the United States. After years of working, he accomplished his dream and bought land in his home country of Italy today; on that same land, his descendants are running the Fiorentino Winery.

The Fiorentino Winery is specialized in the cultivation of the Aglianico grape, a variety indigenous to the area and the Taurasi DOCG wine appellation. Fiorentino is committed to embracing the local land surrounding it and producing a wine indicative of the area, the cultivation of the Aglianico grape is done out of respect for the land and out of family traditions in the area.

Fiorentino Wines made with the Aglianico variety have a distinctly rich and smokey taste thanks in large part to the volcanic earth of the region. The available wines are red and rosé and are all made using organic farming methods and hand-picked grapes to preserve the wine’s quality and protect the local landscape.
