Villa Raiano is a contemporary winery rooted in Irpinia, a historic wine region nestled in the heart of Campania, southern Italy. Shaped by the southern slopes of the Apennines, enriched by fertile soils and a distinctive microclimate, Irpinia ranks among Italy’s most compelling terroirs for indigenous grape varieties. Often referred to as the “figlia del lupo” - daughter of the wolf - the region embodies a raw, untamed beauty and a character all its own.
Founded in 1996, Villa Raiano established its new winery in 2009 in Raiano di Serino, a site steeped in family tradition where the founders once operated their olive mill. Today, the sleek, modern facility rises above a dramatic valley carved over millennia by the Sabato River, surrounded by vineyards and native woodland. Its architecture blends functionality with aesthetic clarity, offering sweeping views across the hills of Monte Terminio.
The estate cultivates 27 hectares of exclusively owned vineyards, all located within Irpinia’s three prestigious DOCG zones: Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Taurasi. The focus lies on native grape varieties - particularly the whites Falanghina, Fiano and Greco. A single, expansive nine-hectare vineyard is dedicated to Aglianico, the noble red grape behind the powerful Taurasi DOCG.
Villa Raiano stands for sustainable viticulture, meticulous cellar work and a stylistic clarity that faithfully reflects the Irpinian terroir. In addition to its classic still wines, the estate also produces a Metodo Classico Brut - an elegant sparkling wine that reinterprets the region’s potential with finesse. Visitors are welcomed to explore the wines through guided tastings and immerse themselves in the captivating landscape and culture of Irpinia.
