Macchialupa Le Surte Taurasi DOCG

The Macchialupa Winery is located in the Valle del Sabato, on the border between the provinces of Avellino and Benevento, amid wide valleys and towering ridges where, at an altitude of around 450 meters, the Falanghina, Greco, Fiano and Aglianico grape types are cultivated. Their passion and love for an area rich in winemaking traditions and culture led enologist Angelo Valentino and agronomist Giuseppe Ferrara to set up this small winery, which is masterfully run by its founders.

Taurasi is the prince of Campania wines, from Aglianico di Taurasi grapes grown with special care and attention. The result immediately makes all wine lovers smile. A nobleman from Campania, histrionic and courteous, shares dinner with the guests.
