Michele is a true vigneron: he spends the whole day in the vineyard and cellar, with the help of his wife Annamaria Romano and his son Felice.

Michele Perillo's vineyard extends over 5 hectares between the territories of Castelfranci and Montemarano at an altitude of 600 meters and enjoys good exposure and an important temperature range. The vines are planted on tuffaceous soils, rich in clay and silica, and are grown in starzeta and espalier. Some plots even date back to the 1930s. Aglianico and Coda di Volpe are the two cultivated vines. The yields are very low: they never exceed 50 quintals per hectare. Michele Perillo's agriculture is conventional, but not invasive.

The ripening of the grapes is slow, due to the cold climate. And this praise of slowness can also be found in the vinification in the cellar. The grapes are fermented on indigenous yeasts in steel and then aged for a long time in barrique and Slavonian oak.

And, you know, the wait pays off.
