Pierluigi Zampaglione’s family has been farming their land in Campania for generations. But it was only in 2002 that he decided to plant a couple of hectares of Fiano and start making wine. Even he recognised the challenge his tiny plot (at 2700 feet asl) represented: he called the wine "Don Chisciotte" (Don Quixote).

But that wasn't an excuse to cut corners. This is unabashedly untechnical, natural wine. They farm their poor, windswept soil organically. And they ferment on natural yeasts, adding very little sulfur and making no manipulations.

No, there are no manipulations, just hard work, nature, and time. They give the grapes time in the high-altitude vineyards, and then they give them a long maceration on the skins.
