Since 2007, Maria Buonanno has led Azienda Agricola Terranova at Solofra, bringing vineyards, olive groves, farm produce, animals, dining and accommodation into one project. Four hectares surround a nineteenth-century farmhouse on the hills at Terranova di Sant’Agata Irpina, near Montoro.
Cantina della Collina shares the agriturismo site. Its earliest wines were made exclusively for guests. Woodland around the farm includes Turkey oak, oak, manna ash, beech, birch and especially chestnut trees. Maria wants her small farm to reveal a greener, less familiar side of Solofra.
The estate has always been certified organic. Its locality, Cerzeta, takes its name from the dialect word for oak. Maria and her father, a retired engineer, tend the vegetable garden, vines and olives; olive oil is a particular source of pride.
“We want people to remember that Solofra, known for tanning, also has an agricultural vocation. Cantina della Collina is about keeping our roots alive. Everything here remains rural, so guests can enjoy an authentic, relaxed experience without losing the spirit of the countryside.”
Maria makes natural wines with structure, reflecting local produce and the slower rhythms of rural life: a setting in which she has found her vocation and freedom.
Cantina della Collina shares the vision of Evoluzione Naturale. Come and discover Maria’s stories and wines.
