Coda di Volpe, a grape already mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his “Naturalis Historia” with the name of “Cauda Vulpium” for its bunch which when fully ripe takes on the shape of the fox's tail.
Greco is a grape so called because it was brought to southern Italy by the Pelasgians of Thessaly in the 8th century BC. It is also called “aminea gemina” due to the twin shape of the small bunches.
Fiano, a grape called “Vitis Apiana” by the Latins because bees are particularly fond of the sweetness of this grape.
Falanghina is cultivated according to the traditional methods also widespread in Germany and France during the Middle Ages, as in the medieval riggiole preserved in the Casanetese library or in the 11th century crutch of the Lombard harvest in the church of Santa Sofia in Benevento.
The Greek comes from a vineyard 100 meters as the crow flies from the Avellino DOCG, but the plants testify to one of the oldest vineyards of the variety mentioned by Pliny. The label is a Bourbon riggiola, from the eighteenth century, like all the labels of the winery.
Caudium means tail, and the foxtail has its chosen area in Cirignano, a Montesarchio farmhouse in the foothills. In Cirignano the vine grows in difficult areas, poor, without soil, on steeper slopes of the Moselle or Val d'Aosta. Extreme viticulture. The label is a votive shrine from the 1700s.

Falanghina from the Greek-Latin term "Falango", that is "Palo", as the characteristic of Campania viticulture is that of the "Vine tied to the pole", or always from the Greek-Latin term "Falange", giving it the meaning of "Falange" ”Of the finger to which you would like the grape to resemble.
Wine produced in an alpine environment using Nebbiolo grapes vinified in white. The geological origin of the land dates back to the collision between the African and European plates that gave rise to the Alps. The great variability of the resulting rocks give minerality and elegance.
The donnalaura is the emblem of the place of origin of the Falanghina, Montesarchio, with two biotypes, one now known throughout Campania and another rarer, exuberant, and with great acidity. Laura is the grandmother of the owner of the winery, Pasquale Clemente.
