It was Silvia Imparato - a photographer by profession -  who then established the winery with the help of her old friend and renowned Italian oenologist Riccardo Cotarella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontevetrano was a family farm that had been passed down by her grandparents to her father and later inherited by Silvia. Located in the Monti Picentini Regional Park in the Campania region of Southern Italy, the 26-hectare estate is divided into five vineyards. The vineyard that is home to the local grape varieties – Aglianico, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot also cultivate oaks, chestnuts, hazelnuts trees, citrus grove, and olive trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with just four hectares, Silvia and Riccardo embarked on their winemaking journey and within just six years of establishment the winery gave birth to its first bottles of wine that were a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) and Aglianico (10%) and after just a few vintages, Montevetrano was dubbed “the Sassicaia of the South” by Robert Parker. Since then, the vineyard has grown and the red wine blend has evolved to include Cabernet, Merlot and Aglianico - a true “supercampanian”, and a compelling mixture of spice and flesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal varieties from neighbouring vineyards go into the two Core wines (pronounced COR-eh, meaning heart): Fiano and Greco for the white, and Aglianico for the red. Both are sumptuous examples, and very well priced for the quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"montevetrano-core-rosso-aglianico","title":"Montevetrano 'Core' Rosso 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Montevetrano 'Core' s (pronounced COR-eh, meaning heart) Rosso is a Campania IGT red wine made from 100% Aglianico grapes.

Together, oenologist Riccardo Cotarella and Silvia Imparato, realised that Aglianico had found its ideal place in Sannio and there was a real prospect of making a wine with the same quality as the Montevetrano Red, but typical of its locale.
