Ripanero began in 2014, when three friends united by a passion for farming and wine decided to embark on a long-dreamed-of adventure. Today they pursue it with cheerful determination.
At the heart of their work is Aglianico del Vulture, a grape variety prized for its character and elegance since ancient times. Here in Basilicata, on the slopes of Mount Vulture, ancient lava flows created distinctive soils that generations of farmers have tended with tireless care, developing skills and passing down precious knowledge.
Following that tradition and their own enthusiasm, the three friends see winegrowing as a way to show the greatest possible respect for their land and vines. They farm four hectares naturally, without pesticides or other synthetic chemicals.
The grapes are harvested by hand in a spirit of celebration, surrounded by the scent of ripe bunches ready for their journey to the cellar. There, winemaking begins immediately, using traditional methods without oenological artifice.
Ripanero shares the vision behind Evoluzione Naturale. Come and hear their stories and taste their wines.
