AZIENDA AGRICOLA DE ROSA ILARIA

In Tramonti, on the slopes of the province of Salerno, De Rosa Ilaria cultivates both olives and vines, working across five protected denominations. One concerns olive oil: Cilento DOP, with its green-yellow hues and a characteristic bitter and spicy aftertaste. The other four are wine denominations—Castel San Lorenzo DOC and Cilento DOC, Colli di Salerno IGT and Paestum IGT—and outline a range that spans from structured reds based on Aglianico to lighter, more immediate expressions. The mixed cultivation, with olive trees and vines sharing the same territory, is the distinctive feature of the estate. The thread that binds the five denominations together is the Salerno terroir and the use of the province's indigenous grape varieties, interpreted in their various nuances. From the Cilento slopes, Aglianico gains body and longevity, while the IGTs allow for more agile wines. The result is a composite portfolio, where the same land tells two parallel stories—olive growing and viticulture—each anchored to its own denomination of origin.
