Claudio Cipressi Vignaiolo

Claudio Cipressi’s cultivation method is strictly organic out of respect for the environment. The farm is officially certified as organic and since 2014 also the winery is certified as organic.

He is extremely picky in choosing which grapes to harvest, selecting each bunch by hand. In the wine cellar, he uses a traditional, non-invasive method to process the grapes.

He pays a lot of attention to the temperature of the grape must and to accurately using the barrels for perfecting the wine. No fruit is added during aging, which alters the taste, and so the original flavor of the grapes can be tasted in every sip.

If wine was one of the most important signs of civilization for Hemingway, for Claudio Cipressi, it’s giving value to the land where he was born – Molise.

Molise is a beautiful region with a unique landscape. It is largely uncontaminated and the vineyards have great potential, which is why Claudio cultivates 16 hectares with enthusiasm.

The native grape vines he grows now include: 12 ha of Molise Tintilia, 1.5 ha of Montepulciano, about 1 ha of Falanghina and 0.5 ha of Trebbiano.
