THE MAKER: Cantina Sanpaolo

Cantina Sanpaolo is in a hilly area between the provinces of Avellino and Benevento, with a wide variety of soil types in the vineyards, ranging from clayey to chalky and sandy and influenced by the volcanic ash from the mighty volcano Vesuvius. The vines grow at altitudes up to 700 metres, and receive very intense sunlight during the day, while the temperatures drop quite dramatically at night, making the grapes even more aromatic.
The winery has modern equipment for producing whites and reds and for aging in the beautiful cellar containing 65 barrels of different sizes: barriques, tonneaus and oak casks.
