love at first sight
M y f i r s t r e a c t i o n o n v i s i t i n g R a i t o
overlooking the beautiful coast of Vietri sul Mare, was love at first sight – the kind of passion that turns your life around and irrevocably changes it. Thus, in 2001 I found myself owning more than two hectares/ six acres of half-abandoned land. I rolled up my sleeves and started working to restore the site, endeavoring to fully respect both the landscape and the environment.

I learned that in the past the property had been known as “St. Vito ad Torcle” (from the Latin “torculum”: wine press) and that there was an ancient and particular vocation for the production of grapes and citrus fruits.
After consulting with expert enologists and agronomists, I decided to plant a very special vineyard, as I wanted to produce a wine of high quality that would express all the fragrances and flavors that envelope this land that is constantly kissed by the sun.

"Where the welkin / sea-bound is engrafted, / horizons transmute into fruitful / rows of grapevines; / and each gaze / Is a harvest."

The “Aglianico” and “Piedirosso” grapevines, part of the “DOC Costa d’Amalfi” appellation area, are cultivated on guyot and pergola vine training systems, throughout a terraced planting method, typical on the coast.

Raito is a neighborhood of Vietri sul Mare, first town on the Amalfi coast; its luxuriant sun-swathed seabound terraces were safeguarded by farmers and seafarers since time immemorial. Medieval convalescents were sent here to breathe fresh air, sunbathe, eat well, and recover.

Le Vigne di Raito, few kilometers east of Salerno, in Vietri sul Mare, Amalfi coast, is an organic-certified (ICEA – National Environmental Institute) agritourism farm. Surrounded by the typical Mediterranean vegetation, it is also a haven for the local microfauna.
