San Giorgio del Sannio is situated in the hilly landscape of the Benevento hinterland, at an altitude of between 124 and 508 metres, in an agricultural area characterised by undulating terrain, varied aspect and favourable ventilation. The climate features hot, dry summers, cooler winters and a marked daily temperature range – conditions that encourage gradual ripening and help preserve the acidity in the grapes. The soils of the area, consisting of the clayey and calcareous substrates typical of the Sannio hills, help to produce well-balanced vines and wines with structure, freshness and a recognisable terroir character.
Local viticulture focuses primarily on the main grape varieties of the Sannio region: Aglianico, Falanghina, Greco, Fiano and Coda di Volpe, produced as white, red, rosé and sparkling wines. Falanghina expresses bright, fragrant and savoury characteristics, whilst Aglianico brings intensity, tannic texture and depth to the glass. The wines fall under the Sannio DOC and Falanghina del Sannio DOC designations, with winemaking focused on varietal precision, achieved through temperature control for the whites and ageing processes designed to support the development of the reds. This winemaking heritage is rooted in the long agricultural tradition of the Sannio region, now underpinned by an increasingly careful understanding of the differences between plots, altitudes and aspect.
