History
Michele Perillo's grandfather planted most of the vines in the 1920s after returning from the First World War; the family long sold fruit to other wineries.
Michele bottled his first vintage in 1999, making a dense, traditional Taurasi from high-altitude Aglianico.
He works the vineyard and cellar himself with his wife Annamaria Romano and son Felice.
