ERARIO

Cantina e Vini

Since 1849 the Family ERARIO has always been involved in the agricultural activity, particularly what concern the cultivation of vineyards and olive’s trees. In Apulia the culture of cultivation of vines and olive’s trees is an ancient tradition, since 700 b.C. the Greeks did produce wines and olive oils. In this area it is possible to see centuries old olive trees and some one over 1.000 years.     It is interesting to notice that in region Apulia there are over 85 different kinds of grapes, but actually are selected and grown only few kinds, the ones that are high productive and  considering the position of the land, if on hills or plain, kind of the land and the exposure to the sun and to the winds of the sea. All this factors have a strong influence on the taste of the wine: the same grape produced on different soils and by vine of different age, it gives a wine of different taste.      Also the same vines on the same soil, but different age, it gives a different wine: older is the vineyards and stronger are perfumes and taste of its grapes and the wine produced.

In the year 2006, with the participation of the Family Brunetti, the company is registered for the first time with the name of AGRICOLA ERARIO. 2011 in a new location a new winery is build, where there are new cellars, containers underground and silos in stainless steel, machines for bottling and labelling.                                    In the same building there is the office and a small company store, where are sold Erario’s wines and extra virgin olive oils, and some typical food products of the region Apulia. Among these products there is foods made by other companies that respect the tradition of this region as special pasta and noodles,  pasta sauces, pickles, preserves in olive oil and so on.

Actually Agricola Erario own about 200.000 square metres of vineyards and about 60.000 square metres of  olive grove. The production of wine is about 400.000 lt. (500.000 bottles of 0,75 l.) and 6.000 lt. of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil (7.500 bottles of 0,75 lt.).

The wine produced is composed of about: 65% Primitivo di Manduria, 15% Negroamaro, 7% Fiano, 5% Aleatico, 5% Chadonnay and 3% Moscato. The vines are on rows or as small trees. The harvest  is made absolutely only by hand.  Concerning Primitivo the harvest is made in two times: the first time in August, when only the big grapes are harvested and a second time after about 2 week, by mid September, when the small grapes are harvested; during this time the small grapes become more rich in sugar and this contribute to an higher level of alcohol in the wine.

Agricola Erario takes a lot of care about the quality of their products and they listen to their customers and take very much in consideration their requests and wishes; high attention is given when a customer is choosing a kind of wine and when he is looking for a private label: together with our designers and arts consultants we study a suitable label for the needs of customers’ specific market.

Our wines are sold in Italy as well in some foreigner countries, as Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Albania, Vietnam, Japan and China. Agricola Erario is open to new proposal of cooperation with customers, particularly when they are interested in building together a sound and long lasting relation with benefits on both sides.
