The Di Meo estate, a beautiful 18th-century farmhouse that was once a hunting lodge of the Caracciolo Prince, is surrounded by mild and breezy hillsides. The goal of the three brothers was to produce wines from the most widespread native varieties in Irpinia, like Fiano, Greco, Aglianico, and Coda di Volpe, and promote the value of cultural and regional traditions. So, they decided to plant vineyards and, in 1986, they started producing the first set of wines of the family: this is the moment that winery Di Meo was born. While the Irpinia wine underwent a period of strong growth, with the important accreditation of the DOCG Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, and Taurasi and the growth of a significant quality wine sector, the oenological project of the Di Meos Brothers evolved very quickly: besides the production of wines in the best areas of the province, they started the production of liquors, spirits, and other food Irpinian products as well, and in a few years the company was set up as one of the most prestigious production companies in the region. Today the company is run by Roberto, Oenologist, Winemaker, and Sales Manager, and by Generoso, promoter of “Di Meo Vini ad Arte”, a project to enhance and spread worldwide the cultural heritage of Irpinia and Campania: after all, like wine, this is a way to celebrate the family link with the territory and offer its history to contemporary taste.

Le cantine, prospicienti su un giardino terrazzato, sono nel centro storico di Paternopoli (Av). Il fabbricato riveste le caratteristiche tipiche di un edificio settecentesco, con facciate in pietrame, con finestre contornate da archi a tutto sesto e portali in pietra. Le cantine, scavate a mano nella morgia, sono coperte da volte a botte, con poche costolonature e costituisco l'ambiente ideale per l'affinamento dei vini. Con l'intervento di restauro si è voluto rivitalizzarle, rivalutando il centro del paese con nuova linfa produttiva e realizzando un impianto per la trasformazione enologica di qualità con tecnologie innovative. Le attrezzature enologiche moderne, che ben si integrano nell'ambiente antico, sono in acciaio inox , ed i fermentini hanno un sistema avanzato di termoregolazione automatico. La valorizzazione della produzione agricola e del turismo enogastronomico, avviene con la produzione “porte aperte”, con l'introduzione di cartelli didattici ed esplicativi e con la creazione di una piccola biblioteca tematica. Si vuole così, avvalorare la produzione enologica integrandola alla conservazione del patrimonio storico architettonico.
