The Producer
Cantine Iorio
Cantine Iorio is proud of guarding, through its everyday work, the traditions of its region. It is situated in Torrecuso, a hilly district located in the heart of the Sannio and beside the Taburno Regional Park. Here vines represent the cultural and social identity of the whole wine making area so much that Torrecuso is known as ‘The town of Aglianico’.
Owners Pietro and Luca founded a new and modern cellar in 2004, their local knowledge ensuring the right mix between tradition and innovation. The main object at the beginning of their project was to recover both abandoned lands and the surviving experience of local grape growers. The success of this mission inspired them to produce high quality wines using the best selected grapes from the territory.
