Winery Profile
- Sclavia is situated in Liberi, a beautiful rural hamlet in the province of Caserta, which attracted the owners Andrea Granito and Lello Ferrara (whose daughter today is in charge of the winery), two friends and partners who came from two different worlds but shared the desire to produce wine.
- Cantina Sclavia has 14 hectares of organic vineyards that surround the winery and climb the hill as far as the eye can see. The production of the wines reflects the territory: they cultivate the local varietals Casavecchia, Pallagrello Nero and Bianco and just a few rows of Fiano.
- The logo reproduces the two emblems of the village of Liberi: he tower, effigy of the municipal coat of arms, along with the hawk, free and proud to fly over the vineyards.
