I Borboni

I Borboni winery has deep roots in the tradition of the Numeroso family, whose winemaking legacy dates back to the 18th century. Initially focused on grape cultivation for resale, the family played a key role in supplying notable companies such as Buton and Cirio. However, it was in the 1970s that the family's journey took a transformative turn when Gabriele Lovisetto, then director of Buton, encouraged the modernization of their vineyards. This innovation, combined with the family's determination, led to the revival of Asprinio, a grape variety at risk of disappearing. The family's passion culminated in the creation of the I Borboni brand in 1982, a tribute to the southern Italian legacy of the Bourbons. Today, nestled in the heart of Lusciano, the winery continues to honor its heritage, with the vinification process taking place in centuries-old tuff caves. These caves, 15 meters deep, provide the ideal conditions for producing wines that truly embody the unique character of the region. The tradition is carried forward by the next generation, committed to preserving the authenticity and excellence of Asprinio.

At I Borboni, the focus is on producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Aversa area, with Asprinio taking center stage. The winery's dedication to reviving this historic grape has led to the production of remarkable sparkling wines that highlight the distinct qualities of Asprinio. Using traditional vinification methods in their underground caves, I Borboni creates wines with unparalleled freshness, acidity, and minerality. Their range includes sparkling wines made through both Charmat and traditional methods, showcasing the versatility of Asprinio. Each bottle is a tribute to the centuries-old heritage of the Numeroso family, blending innovation with deep respect for tradition. Whether it’s the crispness of their Asprinio sparkling wines or the subtle nuances of their still wines, every sip offers a taste of the rich winemaking legacy that defines I Borboni.
