At just under 700 meters above sea level and immersed in the greenery of the rich hilly tradition of the area, the Riccio winery is located in one of the most characteristic villages of the Irpinia area, Chiusano di San Domenico, where the charm of ancient places is part of the ferment of vegetation and a landscape of extraordinary vitality. The presence of steep slopes makes it perfectly suited to cultivating vines and the abundant supply of waterways, accompanied by particularly favorable winds, give the wines produced in the area excellent qualitative characteristics.
