AZIENDA AGRICOLA RUOCCO EUGENIO

On the volcanic soils of Cilento, Eugenio Ruocco's farm brings together olive oil and wine through five protected denominations. The extra virgin Cilento DOP is its most recognizable voice: yellow-green in color, with a fruity profile and the spicy notes characteristic of the area. Alongside, the cellar works with Barbera, Aglianico, and Piedirosso according to the production regulations of Castel San Lorenzo and Cilento DOC, while the Colli di Salerno and Paestum IGT classifications broaden the scope towards freer interpretations. The diversity of the offering—from mineral whites to structured reds—is not dispersion but a measure of the territory: each label responds to a different microclimate and soil band along the Campania coast. It is a work that demands technical rigor and a willingness to listen to the variety of Cilento, where a few tens of kilometers separate sea views from hilly hinterlands. The result is a catalog that tells the story of an entire protected area rather than a single stylistic signature, treating the denomination as a geography to be explored in its entirety.
