Region: Campania, Italy

Farming: Sustainable

Fattoria La Rivolta, a family-owned winery, traces its roots back to the early twentieth century when Giovanni and Teresa combined their strengths and acquired land in the Ciurica, Rivolta, and Roseto districts. Their efforts resulted in one of the largest and most productive farms in the province of Benevento. Situated in Torrecuso, in the province of Benevento, Fattoria La Rivolta's vineyards are nestled among the picturesque and mountainous landscapes of Campania's Taburno DOC, one of the smallest in the region. The Cotroneo family, who has lived in the region for generations, maintains and cultivates the land. In 1997, Paolo Cotroneo launched Fattoria La Rivolta with his brother Mario, and as a third-generation farmer, he immediately began organically cultivating the vines, obtaining ICEA certification in 2001. A family affair involving two sisters and a cousin, the 29 hectares of cultivated vineyards are hand-harvested to produce low yields without the use of chemical treatments. The estate focuses on Aglianico grapes, which were introduced by the Greeks and later adopted by the Aragonese during the Kingdom of Naples.
