The modern highly technological equipment of the cellar was completed by the beginning of 2005. It is set in the ancient estate belonging to the Di Palma Family, the actual producers, who avail of the expert professional advice of dr. Carmine Valentino from Avellino.
Four hectares are covered with centennial vineyards made up of tintore e piedirosso for the production of the Red Tramonti Wine. Two hectares and half are cultivated with Falanghina, Biancolella and Pepella for the production of the White Tramonti Wine. The half a hectare left is actually utilized for a genetic selection of Aglianico and Piedirosso.
