Collection: Nativ Wines

Roberta Pirone and Mario Ercolino, a renowned enologist, founded Nativ winery
in 2008 with an emphasis on the terroir of the area. Their vineyards and olive groves
are located in Paternopoli, in the province of Avellino, central Campania. Here they
planted grape vines and olive groves to exalt the indigenous varietals of both in
their zone, known locally as Irpina. Literally starting from only land that was some of
the best in the region, they now cultivate grapes to make high quality Taurasi red and Falanghina white wines. RITROVO® is the first in the US to import their olive oil made also of indigenous olive varieties Olivella di Carife and Ravece, typical to Campania. The olives grow alongside the vines in the verdant hills of Paternopoli. A singular opportunity to taste this little-known terroir of central Campania.
