Antico Castello Winery

The brothers Francesco and Chiara Romano have chosen with affection and courage to remain in their Irpinia and to share the belonging that the parents have for this land by inserting themselves into the family agricultural reality. The winery was founded in 2006 by the will of the parents Franco and Florenza and it is the only winery in San Mango Sul Colore , a town included in the DOCG Taurasi area. Completely devasted by the 1980 earthquake and admirably rebuilt. In the name Antico Castello, the memory of a feudal construction before the earthquake. They make wine only using their own grapes from 10 hectares of vineyards in San Mango Sul Colore , which sits at an altitude of 450 m above sea level and its not far from the Valley the Colore River runs through it. Aside from the red Aglianico , they also cultivate the white varieties Fiano, Greco and Falanghina and all according to organic methods.
