The Irpinia Aglianico di Masseria Della Porta is a wine created to align a production concept with the local region. The name of the wine references a historical landmark of the area, the S. Audeno church, a 12th-century chapel located in the centre of the Monteaperto village, reflecting the community’s historical presence.

AUDENO brings together grapes from four distinct Aglianico single vineyards to create a wine with a clear identity. Respecting the individual vintages, we are trying to achieve the right balance for a wine with a precise identity.
