Il Tufiello

Calling your two wines Sancho Panza and Don Quixote tells you something about the spirit of the place: this is high, lonely, slightly quixotic country, and the wines made here are gloriously out of step with easy commercial taste.

Il Tufiello is the estate of Guido and Igiea Zampaglione in Calitri, in Alta Irpinia, in the province of Avellino. It is a historic cereal farm, organic since 1990 and one of the first in the south to convert. In 2001 the family planted a small parcel of Fiano, and wine bottling began in 2004 with a single hectare. Guido, who also runs Tenuta Grillo in Piedmont's Monferrato, works with his wife Igiea on the vineyard and cellar; his father Michele, a former aeronautical engineer, now tends the vines full time, and sons Pietro and Michele help at harvest.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our Il Tufiello producer profile.
