About the winery

The philosophy of La Fortezza winery evolves around the belief that “wine is made in the vineyard”, and their vineyards express this noble concept with obstinate determination. The strength of the winery comes f rom a mixture of soil quality, exposure, altitude and care for the vineyard. Here are the main wines of the winery: Aglianico del Taburno, made in quantity that allows careful selection in the vineyard to guarantee the highest quality of the wine; Aglianico Riserva, with the grapes coming f rom a seventy-year old vineyard; and Falanghina del Taburno, with vineyards exposure that guarantees an optimal result in terms of sugar content, aromas and acidity.
