CLAUDIO CIPRESSI WINERY

Molise is a unique region in Italy with an immense amount of potential.  This beautiful region is largely uncontaminated which is the main reason Claudio Cipressi dominated 16 hecatares with great intelligence.  He has rediscovered the Tintilia vines as well as two other native white grape varsities. Claudio’s method is strictly organic as he has a great respect for the environment.   Each grape is selected by hand and in the wine cellar he uses non invasive methods to process the grapes.  No fruit is added during the aging which keeps the authentic taste of the grapes with every sip.

Claudio Cipressi’s territory is located 500 meters above sea level. This uncontaminated region allows for organic growth of the grapes, and overall production of the wines.  The native grape vines he grows now include: 11 Molise Tintilla, 3 Montepulicano, 2 Falanghina and 1 Trebbiano.
