Donnachiara Winery, located in the Naples countryside, boasts an impressive history. The family has been cultivating wine at the winery's site for no fewer than five generations. Unique to this is the fact that it was primarily women who played a decisive role in Campania's viticulture. The grapes were primarily sold to large wineries. Until 2005, when the fifth generation, Chiara Pettitto, decided to renovate and shape the winery. From then on, Donnachiara's wines began to take on a distinctive character.
Since Donnachiara's founding, grapes have been grown sustainably. Every action is taken with care for people and the environment. This has resulted in Donnachiara being the only agricultural company in Italy to be included on the renowned Italian list of eco-sustainable companies. An impressive achievement. This makes Donnachiara a bit of an oddball, especially in the somewhat conservative south.
The Donnachiara vineyards are located in the Campania inland, about an hour's drive from the bustling city of Naples. However, when you walk through the Donnachiara vineyards, you no longer notice the hustle and bustle of the city. A peaceful, rolling landscape with abundant nature. This is precisely what the Aglianico grapes, which form the basis for this Donnachiara Campania Aglianico, love.
