Ilpinia has a rich ancient history of Samnit origin. In the seventh century BC, the Greeks lived there. The Greeks inherited their ancestors' worship of Dionysus and his god of wine, making this land the hometown of "Greek grapes", from which Agrianico got its name.

Eugenia is known as "Campania Felix" due to its fertile land and specializes in planting grape trees. Since ancient times, Irpinia has been an agricultural land, and the famous "Emperor's Wine" was already produced at that time. The Campania region is one of the earliest and most important centers for grape cultivation, cultivation, and dissemination. The Apennine region of Eugenia has become the home of Campania's best wines, such as Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, and Taurasi.

The characteristic of Eurasia is landscape diversity, consisting of mountains, hills, valleys, and plateaus. Due to the unique nature of the subsoil and climatic conditions, the territory has strong and unique characteristics worldwide.

After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius thousands of years ago, Volcaniclastics materials transported by strong winds settled in the territory of Ilpinia, giving life to a thick layer of volcanic materials, which solidified over several centuries.

Today, Ilpinia's soil is rich in mineral Micronutrient. More of the surface layer is formed by layered limestone, while hills and valleys are composed of sandy and cohesive sediment. The soil mainly exhibits a well balanced structure, free from clay and often containing stones.
The Mediterranean climate makes the territory cold and humid in winter, hot in summer, and has a large temperature difference between day and night.

The unique nature of the region and the mountainous Mediterranean climate (due to its proximity to the Piacentini Mountains) determine the strong production differences, extreme originality, and heterogeneity of wine in the region.

The balance between climate, grape trees, and soil is perfect. In the past few centuries, this balance has become increasingly harmonious, resulting in wines with the highest characteristics, characterized by complex aromas, velvet like, rich and elegant taste, and strong and delicate aroma.

 

Nativ has 15 hectares of local vineyards. A large part of the vineyard is located in the southeast, connecting the villages of Castelvetere sul Calore and Paternopoli along the ridge, passing through Montemarano and Castelfranci.
