About Winery and Wines

Respect for its surroundings and a limited production of high-quality products. That's what characterizes Le Masciare Estate. Since our foundation we have been amply rewarded for our approach, having won many awards from Slow Food, Gambero Rosso and ExtraBio, as well as having a strong presence in the most representative wine guides. The estate, covering 20 hectares in Irpinia, produces the Aglianico purple red grape – often referred to as the 'Nebbiolo of the South', as well as the white Fiano, Greco and Coda di Volpe grapes. Each year, the harvest is carried out with consummate expertise and love, under the careful supervision and hands of our enologist Emiliano Falsini together with the founders of the wine estate.

Aglianico, is a ruby red heavyweight with powerful tannins and a firm structure which allow it to age beautifully, and is expressed in three different versions: the Aglianico, the Campi Taurasini (selection of the best grapes) and the Taurasi (a cru with some 12 months in oak). The red Aglianico is complemented by a white blend of mainly Coda di Volpe called Settepietre, as well as the cultivation of the Fiano di Avellino – the most elegant of Southern Italy’s white wines - and the Greco di Tufo – its all-round mineral-rich brother. To round it off, we produce a Greco Spumante DOC (our sparkling wine) and a limited quantity of great extra-virgin olive oils.
