Simone Giacomo

The Bio conquers the spaces and minds of people. In the heart of the Sannio, at the foot of the Matese and Taburno Parks, in the territory of Castelvenere and Guardia Sanframondi, the company & winery Simone Giacomo owns about 11 hectares of vineyards, in which there are centuries-old extraordinary olive trees variety: Racioppella, Ortolana, Femminella, Coratina. The cultivated vines well represent the production disciplinary of the area: Aglianico, Barbera del Sannio, Falanghina del Sannio, Sangiovese, Greco, Cerreto, all native vines.

The winemaking activity started in 2016, although young, already has a precise production approach, which sees eco-sustainability as the fulcrum of the mission. A choice shared by a growing target of consumer advocates. In addition, the competitive advantage that the production area reserves and is inherent in the soil and climate characteristics of the Benevento area, a triad of essential requirements to obtain quality in the vineyard at high levels: volcanic soil, solar exposure and heat exchange, availability of energy from sources renewable (wind) widely distributed, represent the difference.

Vineyards of new trellis plant have supplanted the traditional awning form, without demonizing it. The sun and the winds of the sirocco and southern favonio make the grapes healthy, harvested by hand, reach the cellar and crushed. The winery has adopted a construction project that combines technological innovation and environmental sustainability. The building typology of the Grottole, characteristic underground cellars dug into the tufaceous rock equipped with an upper oculus for the exchange of air, lighting of the rooms and for the fall of the grapes pressed by the millstone, have suggested the definition of the Simone Giacomo Cantina project as a synthesis between local construction and production tradition.

The key piece by Simone Giacomo is inside the bottle, the vitality of Benevento continues to express itself and strengthens with the Aglianico del Taburno wine, the Falanghina del Sannio and a revalued never abandoned Barbera del Sannio, representing the production line: Benevento Aglianico, Camaiola , Silvana, Barberosa, Benevento Rosso without added sulfites.
