In the Grande Cuvée Luigi Moio, the three varieties of grapes from Campania are united in order to create an exclusive wine in which nature has been assisted by men in the intention to harmonize the notes of each of them so that nothing is dominant, but everything is in a wonderful balance. A wine which encloses the synthesis between the extraordinary vocation of the fresh and windy hills of Irpinia and its vineyards, perfect expression of a refined style which puts together harmony and elegance, distinguishing marks of Quintodecimo’s essence.

The Grande Cuvee is made up of the three grapes: 40% Greco, 20% Falanghina, 40% Fiano. Greco, is obtained from a single parcel of Giallo d’Arles estate in Tufo, center of the production area of Greco di Tufo DOCG. Falanghina, comes from the middle band of the hill at Mirabella Eclano. Fiano, is a selection of the Exultet vineyard, situed in Lapio at 600 metres of altitude in one of the most renowed points for the cultivation of Fiano di Avellino DOCG. 

After the manual harvesting in little cases of 15 kg, the grapes are submitted to a soft pressing. Fermentation happens for 60% in new barriques of French oak and for 40% in stainless steel tanks.

At the end of the fermentation the wine stays for eight months on yeasts, of which six after the blending of the three mono-varietal wines. After the bottling, the bottles stay for other two years in a horizontal position in the caveaux so that the time completes the work, allowing to the wine to reach its most complete expression.
