Montevetrano
Proprietress Silvia Imparato indulged in wine as a hobby until she decided to rebuild her family’s vineyards
in Montevetrano, in the oft-underestimated region of Campania. She employed the skills of highly
regarded winemaker Riccardo Cotarella and they have created an outstanding icon wine they decided to
name Montevetrano.
Core Campania IGT
Core (pronounced Kor-Ay) is local dialect for “heart”, and the label (once again designed by the daughter
of proprietress Silvia Imparato) evokes the love of life, and wine that is the spirit of Montevetrano. Core is
sourced from particular experimental Aglianico plots on the estate in San Cipriano and also from outside
growers in the classical Benevento area who are working closely with Riccardo Cotarella.
Montevetrano Colli di Salerno IGP
Montevetrano takes its name from a medieval castle that dates to Roman times. A former property of the
French Bourbons, the estate itself was the inspiration for this blend of French varietals with the Campanian
king of red grapes - Aglianico. Pleasing scores of wine lovers around the world with its distinctive character
and rich spectrum of flavors, Montevetrano is one of the most sought-after wines from Italy.
