Pierluigi Zampaglione’s farm is a longstanding presence at Calitri in Alta Irpinia. In 1990 it was among the early adopters of organic farming in southern Italy.
Don Chisciotte began in 2006: a natural wine made entirely from organically grown Fiano at 800 metres, on poor soils shaped by winds and pronounced changes in temperature.
Three hectares are planted at 6,200 vines per hectare and trained to Guyot. Organic fertilisers, copper and sulphur are used, and grapes are hand-picked into crates in October. Winemaking includes skin contact, maturation in stainless steel and fermentation without selected yeasts, with very little sulphur dioxide and no other additives.
