Estate

Tenute Capaldo is a boutique estate who produces only two single-vineyard wines: Goleto and Gulielmus. They are effectively the reference points for Campanian Greco di Tufo and Campanian Taurasi (Aglianico). This is a passion project of Antonio Capaldo, the owner of Feudi di San Gregorio, one of the largest and most respected wineries in Southern Italy. Tenute Capaldo is separate from Feudi, and designed to show off the unique, diverse terroir of the Irpinia region in the central part of Campania. These are very small production wines that showcase the beauty and potential of Southern Italy.

Vinification

Winemaker notes: Gulielmus comes from a 5 acre vineyard in Taurasi, in the Sala district, where the soil is clay and the traditional guyot trellised vines have been planted, starting from 1992, with buds harvested from the old pre-phylloxera vineyards. The harvest is done by hand between mid-October and early November. After fermentation in steel, the wine ages for 18-24 months in barriques and again in the bottle for over two years prior to release.
