Here the land takes the name of "Terremorte" because it is made up of numerous layers of lava overlapping each other. The company was founded in 2015 from an idea of ​​Nicola Autieri, who, helped by Sergio Arena and the oenologist Vincenzo Angileri, bought about 4 hectares of vineyards and olive groves.
