Donnachiara produces Irpinia’s three DOCG wines, i.e. Fiano di Avellino, Taurasi and Greco di Tufo, as well as the traditional Aglianico and Falanghina wines.

The estate is located in the province of Avellino, a stone’s throw away from Montefalcione, a town that was already powerful under the Etruscans and has a scythe (symbol of farm work) in the municipal coat of arms. Born in 2005, this modern winery boasts vineyards with ancient properties and almost all female management, including CEO Ilaria Petitto, who decided to dedicate herself to grape development. Ilaria is supported by her mother Chiara, the niece of Donna Chiara Mazzarelli Petitto, for whom this company is dedicated.

Currently showing its primary mineral and citrus character beautifully, with the honeyed complexity just beginning to emerge. Over the next two years, expect the ginger spice notes to become more pronounced whilst the citrus crunch softens into something more integrated. The wine should reach its peak around 2026, when the volcanic minerality will be perfectly balanced with secondary complexity. After 2027, the precision may begin to soften.
