Our wine production is distinguished by high quality and freshness, factors that have made us a Company of Excellence in the industry.
The Chiaradia family has managed to make the most of their lands due to the characteristics of this fantastic region for growing grapes. We have also made the most of the Lucanian reputation outside the regional borders, and so become an ambassador to a unique history and nature.
The Epeo DOP - a ruby red wine, produced from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and aged in steel vats for 9 months after harvesting. The aromas are intense and fairly balanced between Sangiovese and Cabernet; while ripe fruit and some spicy notes prevail in the mouth which together with the softness of the tannins, ensure a good persistent taste.
