Gaia Fiano Orange 2019

Cantina Giardino, located in Campania’s mountainous area of Irpinia, is the brainchild of true natural wine pioneers Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola, who in the late ’90s began to salvage and work naturally parcels of old vines, some up to 100 years of age, of local varieties such as Greco, Coda di Volpe, Fiano, and Aglianico.

In the cellar all wines see nothing added or taken away, all of them having no added SO2. Antonio and Daniela combine the use of amphora and gres porcelain, which they believe can sublimate the soul of grapes and terroir, with traditional cherry, acacia, and chestnut barrels. Toeing the line between cultural statements and living works of art, these are wines that speak to the soul, heart, and intellect.
