Cantine di Marzo

Di Somma family embarked on an ambitious program of development of Cantine di Marzo winery in 2009 with the goal of expressing the four-hundred-year-old tradition of one of Italy’s oldest wineries, the first to have ever produced the Greco di Tufo wine.

The winery is structured over many levels with a drop of more than 20 meters allowing the use of gravity when moving the must and the wine. This prevents drastic movements of the wine in the winemaking process. The winery uses the latest technology and first-class winemakers: Paolo Caciorgna and Emilia Tartaglione for the still wines, and Maurizio Baldi for the sparkling.

The winemaking process is followed very carefully so that the wine may express all the personality given by the territory. Thanks to this historical heritage and to vanguard winemaking techniques, the di Marzo winery is the proud witness of a tradition that dates back to the middle ages.

The main wines currently produced by the winery are Greco di Tufo, Fiano and Taurasi.
