Verrone Viticoltori, founded by Antonio Verrone in 1967, is a winery deeply rooted in the traditions of the Cilento Coast, Campania Region, just a 45-minute drive from Salerno. This family-run estate embodies a passion for winemaking, with a focus on employing the best cultivation techniques while minimizing environmental impact. Situated on over twenty hectares of terraced vineyards in Agropoli, the winery produces around 30,000 bottles annually, specializing in Aglianico and Fiano, two indigenous varietals of Campania. The estate's primary vineyard, "Tenuta Girapoggio," is located at 150 meters above sea level, within the breathtaking landscape of the Cilento National Park. The soils here, rich in clay and limestone, known locally as "flysch," contribute to the unique character of Verrone’s wines. The vineyard's exposure to the north, west, and south enhances the complexity of the grapes grown here. In addition to Tenuta Girapoggio, the Verrone family also cultivates vines on the "Tenuta of the Rocca Cilento Castle," a historic estate that spans two hectares around the ancient Rocca Cilento Castle, at an altitude of 650 meters. The first vineyards of Fiano at this site were planted in 1967, and the terroir, similar to that of Tenuta Girapoggio, ensures that the wines produced here maintain the same high quality. Antonio Verrone, along with his sons Paolo and Massimo, welcomes guests to the winery, offering tastings and meals on a terrace that overlooks the vineyards, the bay of Agropoli, and the Gulf of Salerno. The vineyard is not just a place of production but also a botanical showcase of the local flora, including olive trees, which adds to the overall experience. Antonio Verrone's commitment to the land is evident in his decision to plant only grape varieties typical of the region, ensuring that his wines possess a unique character and strong personality. The winery’s respect for tradition, combined with a modern approach to viticulture, visits Verrone Viticoltori a memorable highlight for anyone exploring the Cilento region.
