About Core

Core it is a Campania IGT red wine made from 100% Aglianico grapes. It is produced in Sannio, in the province of Benevento and bottled at the Montevetrano Estate. The origin of the grapes has been valuated and searched for a long time and finally we found the ideal place in the Sannio area: a mature vineyard, dedicated to the cultivation of Aglianico as well as Greco and Fiano, in which the volcanic nature of the soil with the presence of tuff together with volcanic ash and limestone allow these grapes to express themselves with the highest quality. The wine has been followed by the enologist Riccardo Cotarella who has realized with knowledge an passion the idea of Silvia Imparato (as he did with the Montevetrano) of making a wine with the same quality as the Montevetrano, but typical of the territory. We have chosen a local vine variety, the Aglianico in purity, that to us represents the archetype of the wine; “The wine that my grandparents made me taste when I was a child”. Core was released into the market to celebrate Montevetrano twenty years anniversary. It has a round and warm name: Core means love in the Neapolitan dialect and centre/essence, in English. A wine of harmony and heart!
