Tenute Capaldo

Irpinia Aglianico and Greco from Campania's volcanic heart.

Tenute Capaldo works with the distinctive terroirs of Irpinia, in Campania's volcanic highlands. The estate focuses on two grapes central to the region's identity: Aglianico and Greco. Gulielmus Taurasi Riserva, made from Aglianico, demonstrates the grape's capacity for structure and aging potential in this microclimate. Goleto, a Greco wine, reflects the crisp, mineral character the variety achieves in Irpinia's cool elevations. Both wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter, anchoring the winery within serious Italian wine discourse. The estate's work with these indigenous varieties positions it within Campania's broader commitment to expressing volcanic soil and altitude through traditional grape types.
