Donnachiara produces Irpinia’s three DOCG wines, i.e. Fiano di Avellino, Taurasi and Greco di Tufo, as well as the traditional Aglianico and Falanghina wines.
The estate is located in the province of Avellino, a stone’s throw away from Montefalcione, a town that was already powerful under the Etruscans and has a scythe (symbol of farm work) in the municipal coat of arms. Born in 2005, this modern winery boasts vineyards with ancient properties and almost all female management, including the current CEO Ilaria Petitto, who decided to dedicate herself to grape development. Ilaria is supported by her mother Chiara, the niece of Donna Chiara Mazzarelli Petitto, for whom this company is dedicated.
What the critics say:
"Greco’s inherently higher acidity benefits a warm, lower acid year such as this. Red apple husk, pink grapefruit, talc and lemon balm. The charge of acidity finds confluence with a rasp across the gums. The finish, strident, intense and impressively long. Good opening act. Drink now."
"'Best Buy'. The nose is tart and crisp, with notes of citrus, green apple, tight leather and smooth stones from the riverbed. On the palate, white peach coaxes out the green apple's sweetness, before a toasty, nutty finish. Impressive balance at this price point."
