    About the Wine

    Falanghina - from an old vineyard in the province of Benevento, at 500 metres above sea level - on calcareous marl soils but with higher percentage of volcanic sands on the top. Four days maceration on skins before being pressed off to chestnut botti for a year.  

    About Cantina Giardino

    Born in 2003 from the collective vision of six impassioned friends, Cantina Giardino isn't just making wine—they're rescuing Irpinia's soul one ancient vine at a time. While industrial goliaths were bulldozing Europe's oldest vineyards (some dating back three centuries!) to make way for sterile monocultures, Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola launched their counter-revolution.

    Their radical approach? Partnering with local smallholders, offering premium prices for chemical-free cultivation, and championing forgotten native varietals teetering on extinction's edge. This wasn't just commerce—it was a crusade to preserve liquid history.

    Today, their "Garden Winery" stewards over 10.5 hectares of vineyards and 1.5 hectares of olive groves, while still honouring their roots by purchasing 35% of their grapes from the very community growers whose heritage they saved. In Irpinia's ancient soils, they've planted something even more precious than vines—hope for a future connected to the past.
