Taurasi
Irpinia IGT
About the Producer:
The Molettieri
family has long passed their small plot of land and their wisdom
from father to son, giving the current generation a solid base
on which to build quality production. It was only in 1995, however,
that Salvatore and his son Giacomo started bottling their own wine
rather than selling the grapes; they have not faltered since in
their swift ascent through the ranks to become one of Campania's
top producers. ‘Cinque Querce,’ in the hills of Irpinia,
is considered one of the best sites for the native Aglianico di
Taurasi (“the Nebbiolo of the South”) given its argillous-calcareous
soil and drastic temperature fluctuations from day to night. Molettieri's
other sites are 'Ischia Piana' and 'Alopecis' and, like Cinque
Querce, stretch across the gentle slopes of the Calore
River Valley.
