Our Company

The “Manimurci Cellar” was founded by a group of like-minded friends who share a passion for wine, a passion passed on by their parents, as their parents, in turn had passed it on to them, inevitably perhaps as wine has been produced at Paternopoli for more than 2000 years.
Paternopoli is situated at the heart of Irpinia in the centre of the Taurasi region. The grapes grown here (among the best in the district) are bought up by the largest wine producers of Irpinia and the Manimurci Cellar selects from the pick of the crop.

Together with the outstanding quality of the grapes, we use advanced wine-making technology such as micro-oxygenisation, fermentation at controlled temperatures, cold process microbiological stabilisation equipment, and obsessively check the wine-making process ( even more notable as we produce small quantities of about 60,000 bottles). The checks begin with the vine itself, from pruning to harvesting and continue in the winnery where the grapes arriving in trays are placed onto a belt so that a visual inspection can take place, in addition to laboratory controls. The same attention is given willingly, at all stages of the wine-making process right up until it is bottled when each bottle will be checked and each bottle will be rinsed out with wine, by hand: all this to obtain an excellent, unique product which will satisfy the most demanding customer.
