Cantine Lonardo
Campania
The Passion of Irpinia
Cantine Lonardo epitomizes the union of a deep love for the land and meticulous attention to the winemaking process. Perched at 400 meters above sea level, this small family-run winery thrives on the diversity of its vineyards. The lower vineyard's clay-limestone soils and the volcanic terrain higher up each play a crucial role in producing wines that, while small in quantity, are mighty in quality.
The region's ideal microclimate and exceptional soil quality cultivate grapes with strong, unique character. The Lonardo family is dedicated to manual production, honoring ancient winemaking traditions while embracing modern advancements. From vineyard to bottle, this boutique operation ensures each wine embodies the essence of Irpinia's rich terroir and the family's unwavering commitment to excellence.

The Lonardo Legacy
For centuries, the Lonardo family has been deeply rooted in agriculture, and for the past thirty years, they have passionately dedicated themselves to traditional vine cultivation and cellar experimentation. In 1998, they established "Contrade di Taurasi," a brand that perfectly embodies their corporate philosophy. This philosophy is rooted in using only materials sourced from their vineyards, ensuring authenticity and quality in every bottle. The Lonardo family continuously experiments with new agronomic and oenological techniques while respecting time-honored traditions. Their production processes are meticulously optimized to balance quality and price, and they leverage native yeasts to enhance the wine's unique characteristics. "Contrade di Taurasi" stands as a testament to the family's unwavering dedication to excellence, blending heritage and innovation to create wines of exceptional character.
