Drogone Aglianico is from Cantina Giardino, an acclaimed natural winery in Irpinia known for expressing Campania’s volcanic and clay soils with minimal intervention. This 2019 vintage is made from organically farmed Aglianico grapes — widely regarded as one of Italy’s most powerful and ageworthy red varieties — harvested by hand and usually fermented with indigenous yeasts and gentle extraction. The wine is then aged in neutral vessels (often large oak or amphora) to build structure while maintaining fresh fruit and savory elements. Drogone shows darker fruit intensity and gripping tannins that reflect both the variety and the cooler, elevated vineyards of Irpinia, making it ideal for bold food pairings and short- to medium-term aging.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
