Following the footsteps of the bishop’s tradition that had marked the birth of the village of Torre Orsaia in the 14th century, over the centuries Tenuta Sellata has always stood out as an ideal place for growing grapes and for the very presence of extensive vineyards, some of which were later ruinously decimated by a terrible phylloxera epidemic at the end of the 19th century.
Today, in the wake of a centuries-old tradition, the estate continues to host the cultivation of Cilento vines par excellence: Aglianico, for the red grapes, and Fiano, for the white grapes. In a reduced percentage, though no less important, other varieties such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano and Falanghina, are extremely precious for the various blends.
This is how these wines are born: from the love for a unique territory and the desire to give back that ancient splendour, to give life to a project made of earth and passion in an extreme synthesis of purity and elegance. In them contrasting yet complementary spirits coexist, expressing the virtues of this land, where, also due to its very particular geographical conformation, sea and mountains merge. A heart composed on the one hand of the freshness from the sea breeze and on the other of the history, tradition and prosperity of these hills.
