Villa Raiano was born in 1996 in the Raiano hamlet of the municipality of Serino (AV). The current cellar, built on top of a hill in the territory of the municipality of San Michele di Serino (AV), is the fulcrum of our company. A modern structure, perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment, surrounded by vineyards and chestnut woods. Irpinia is a land without a logical thread between exposures and altitudes that vary continuously following the profile of the hills and mountains that climb up to 1800 meters above sea level. This characteristic is found in the organoleptic specificities of the DOCG wines produced by Villa Raiano, where each bottle tells the unique and inimitable story of the area.

The Costa Baiano Irpinia Campi Taurasini DOC, Vintage 2018, is a dry wine produced with Aglianico grapes that are destemmed and then macerated for ten days in steel vats. Subsequently, the wine ages in concrete tanks and terracotta amphorae. The 2017 vintage was influenced by a winter with low temperatures for a short period, followed by mild months in February and March and a warm spring with little rain. This led to veraison and harvest being brought forward by 10 days, with healthy grapes but with a higher alcohol potential and lower acidity.

Costa Baiano Irpinia Campi Taurasini DOC is the 39;ideal to accompany dishes such as pasta with tuna sauce, fresh pasta with mushrooms, tagliata, grilled fennel sausage, anelletti with meat sauce and fresh ricotta cheese and aubergine rolls.
