Our story

                                            Since 1999

We want to tell through our wines the story of a dream that comes true…

“Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas”

First of all we are a family whose story is made of passion, devotion and curiosity.

Cortecorbo is the name of a land in the small village of Montemarano that is famous like a world-wine excellence. We have lived here for generations producing wine for more than 50 years. In 1970 Soccorso Romano planted Aglianico red grape in the Cortecorbo land where we still take care of our grapes in order to produce our red wines: Montis Marani, Anthonia & Antyco.

Soccorso was a farmer, he loved to produce wine for the family and friends; Aglianico wine has always been his passion. During the time he planted about four hectars of vineyards, he really wanted the tradition to be continued…

So in 1999 his daughter Antonia founded Cortecorbo wines collecting the long ancesters’ tradition & knowledge in order to tell with passion a unique story. Antonia is an entrepreneur, wine-maker and also an excellent chef. For more than twenty years she has been producing wine with:

–Respect of Family history & Tradition: Irpinia is the land of three world known DOCG wines such as Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi. Antyco is our Taurasi docg (it is a red wine with a minimum aging of 5 years) whose name comes from the mix of the names Antonio & Federico who are Antonia’s two children. While Montis Marani is the ancient name of the village where we are located: Montemarano. Antonia wants to tell you a different story through each wine…

–Innovation through the continue research of new techniques and flavors, Antonia is always looking for new kind of wines. Nota Caparbia is a white wine made from Fiano grapes whose processing deviates from tradition through a double aging in oak barrels to express a new idea of Fiano. We are always looking for new Food & Wine experiences to welcome wine-lovers in our “cantina”.

–Passion is the force that allowed us to overcome the difficulties encountered along the way. It will be the ingredient to better face the future’s challenges.

Since 2021 Antonio & Federico have been helping Antonia in making wine & hosting people in “cantina” for amazing Food & Wine Experiences. Making wine is an art that requires time and study, so Antonio & Federico are only at the beginning of the journey, but tradition is looking for the future….
