arteteke
Arteteke (a word in local dialect to indicate a restless child that cannot sit still) was created in 2013 by Giulio Francesco Bagnale and Alessandro Bocchetti, with the aim to help young people from disadvantaged families and with motor cognitive problems, as they believe that you cannot care for the land if you don’t care for the people that lives there. The wines, powerful yet elegant, perfectly represent the richness of the Mount Vulture volcanic soil, and the unicity of the local terroir.
