Producer Information

The farming co-operative, La Guardiense, was founded over 60 years ago by 33 farsighted, collaborative farmers. Today membership has grown to nearly 1,000, but still only managing a total of about 1,500 hectares meaning that the fruit comes from a large selection of very small family owned vineyards. The winery is situated in the Santa Lucia area of Guardia Sanframondi in the very heart of the southern Italian province of Benevento.

Wine Making

Careful selection of the grapes, harvested by hand using 5kg crates. The grapes are cold macerated then soft pressed before a controlled temperature fermentation in stainless steel at 13° C.

Tasting Note

Orange citrus and peel on the palate, with a fresh, fruity, pleasant and mineral finish.
