Territory rich in history and tradition

The Nativ winery is located in the heart of Paternopoli and was founded in 2008 by the will of Mr Mario Ercolino, internationally renowned oenologist , and Mrs Roberta Pirone, with the aim of realizing Wines of Excellence, result of an important and deep-rooted experience in the field. With the desire to spread and enhance the origin of its territory, Nativ chose a territory rich in history and tradition as Paternopoli as the beating heart of the Company, where winemaking and bottling processes are carried out with true care and passion. The company devoted itself to the production of typical local wines: Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Falanghina, Aglianico and Aglianico di Taurasi.
The grapes are cultivated on land owned by the Company between Paternopoli and Taurasi and the Irpinian territory has a great richness of mineral micronutrients resulting in a high fertility.
More superficial layers are made up of stratified limestone while hills and valleys are made up of deposits of sandstone and clay materials. The peculiarities of the territory and the mountains (due to its proximity to the Picentini mountains) result in strong productive distinctions and situations of extreme originality and heterogeneity in the local wines. The name NATIV was born to represent, through the autochthonous productions, the origin of Irpinan Viticulture, thus outlining the concept of “nativ of the place”. Each reference has a unique and unequivocal character, as it is produced through innovative vinification methods, respecting tradition, but at the same time paying attention to maintain unaltered the organoleptic structure of the grape. Pleasing the senses and enjoying a sensorial experience when tasting a wine is the philosophy of our oenologist, who considers the wine as the union between minds and hearts.
The uniqueness of our references lies in the vinification technique employed: the pre – cold maceration allows the preservation of the aromas of the wine while exalting them. In fact, the low temperature facilitates the extraction of anthocyanins, flavonoids and flavanes, aromatic compounds that allow to obtain a wine with better color, structure and aromatic notes compared to wines obtained with traditional maceration methods.
Nativ is a solid company with constantly increasing in distribution in Europe and
beyond. The engine that drives the company is love and respect for the land
and the vine, hence the realization of a profession, a way of life and entrepreneurship.
