The Family
After many generations the Santero family is proud to own and manage this winery still so important for its historic and cultural significance. Over the years, under the expert guidance of the CEO, the new generation’s members have followed the old way for over a century, keeping the same passion, the same love for nature and for the vineyard. It is a priceless experience which starts in the vineyards and ends into the bottle. Our mission is to obtain the best results from our vineyards through a personal communication with nature, walking through the grapevines understanding their evolution day by day.
Harvest time is certainly the most important for our company because our success starts here. “Your land will never betray you” is one of the best mottos of the CEO (Santero Mario) who believes that If you grow your land with love and care, you will be rewarded with good fruits. This is where it all begins, the best sun exposure, the best soil and the ability to select the most mature grapes. Here’s where you get the best aroma and the greatest, the fuller and the most balanced flavour along with the most lasting and shining colors.
Our Vineyards
Abbazia di San Gaudenzio
“Casa Vinicola Abbazia” winery is located in Santo Stefano Belbo, a small town between Langhe Monferrato and Roero. The Langhe area is a mosaic of infinite landscapes impossible to embrace at a glance. Through quick steps with continuous changes follow each new and romantic landscapes that leave the spectator breathless.
These views gave Santo Stefano Belbo the recognition of a World Heritage Site by UNESCO protected for their charge of spirituality and evocative power. The Langhe area is located in the southern part of Piedmont (at the foot of the mountains) between the highest and coldest mountains of Europe and the warm Mediterranean Sea. This peculiar microclimate has always granted the best weather conditions for the cultivation of the most precious and delicate grapes.
Cantina di Solopaca
The Cantina di Solopaca is one of the oldest farmer’s cooperative all over the Campania. The vineyards are located in a wide area that, starting from Solopaca’s territory, involves other 16 neighbouring disctricts, reaching a total planted area of about 1300 hectares. Solopaca stretches in an area formerly known as Sannio, ever devoted to the winegrowing. On the Solopaca hills was born the fabulous “Solopaca D.O.C.” whose story is lost in the dim and distant past.Even Joachim Murat, french general and King of Naples, who tasting the Solopaca wine, extoled its merits until comparing the impetuous power of the wine to that of his brother in law Napoleon.
Sannio Shire
Sannio is a hilly area north of Naples. It extends over the historical grape-growing region of Samnium, the land of the Samnites, a pre-Roman people. Its historical heritage was mentioned in the works of the philosophers Pliny, Cato and Horace, who described the wines as having a “slightly smoky aroma” and an “intense resinous scent”. Sannio gained its DOC status in 1997 and its regulations require that the grapes be sourced from hillside vineyards, where the climate is ideal for the cultivation of best-quality vines.
Traveling through its hills it is possible to understand how viticulture is characterizing the land, and how much is the subject of protecting the environment and the source of economic sustainability of its people. In some areas the vine and its vegetative period mark the life of the local community, especially in the areas between the Massif of Matese and Taburno, and the slopes of Taburno at the Calore River. In the province are born wineries in the form of cooperatives, bringing together almost two thousand and fifty winegrowers, associative and productive realities at the regional level and of significant importance at the level of southern Italy.
