Donna Chiara is a wine based on the Aglianico grape, representing an excellent example of the outstanding Irpinia area, renowned for its volcanic soil where the vines are planted. This impeccable combination results in a wine with bright fruit and acidity, complemented by the more complex aromas derived from the terroir and barrel aging.

The wine exhibits a concentrated ruby-red color with a pink variation at the rim. Aromas of wild berries, dark plum, and violet, accompanied by spice notes such as black pepper and cloves, are present. The wine is vibrant on the palate with well-integrated tannins, leading to a long finish featuring dark plum, cloves, and tobacco.

Fermented in steel tanks and matured in both barriques and steel vats, Donna Chiara showcases the unique characteristics of the Aglianico grape and the Irpinia terroir.

Terroir

Narni - Umbria

The terroir of Narni, in southern Umbria, is defined by its rolling hills, limestone-rich soils, and a climate that balances Mediterranean warmth with cooling influences from the Apennine foothills. Leonardo Bussoletti focuses on reviving and refining the local Ciliegiolo grape, which thrives in these well-drained, mineral-laden soils. The region’s warm days and cool nights allow for slow, even ripening, preserving the grape’s vibrant acidity and aromatic complexity. The combination of calcareous clay and sandy deposits enhances both structure and elegance in the wines, resulting in expressions that are fresh, floral, and deeply connected to their terroir. Bussoletti’s approach highlights the finesse and versatility of Ciliegiolo, showcasing the full potential of Narni’s unique microclimate and soil composition.

Region

Campania

Campania's terroir is defined by its diverse landscape, ranging from the volcanic soils of Mount Vesuvius to the coastal plains along the Tyrrhenian Sea. The region benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild winters, allowing for a long growing season. The volcanic origins of the land provide rich, mineral-laden soils, especially in areas like Taurasi and Campi Flegrei, which impart unique depth and complexity to the wines. The diurnal temperature variations between day and night help preserve the grapes’ acidity while promoting aromatic development. Campania is home to some of Italy’s most historic grape varieties, such as Aglianico, which thrives in the volcanic soils of Taurasi, and Fiano and Greco di Tufo, which produce elegant white wines with vibrant acidity and floral notes. The region’s terroir allows for wines that are complex, structured, and full of minerality, with a distinctive sense of place that reflects both its volcanic origins and its coastal proximity.
