we grew up with the rhythm and pace of the farmers, with the values of respect for nature and the land,
techniques and traditional tools that our grandparents were sacred and unchangeable; we have been
"educated" to the taste for the oil and wine tasting and seizing every year changes, the nuances of different
time-dependent and soil conditions.
Is born in us a real passion and, like all passions, we can not and do not want to live alone, we want to spread as much
as possible and share colors, aromas and flavors that underlie an agricultural genuine, healthy and rich.
As our great-grandfathers have committed their time and their life in the vineyards and olive groves, so we feel the duty
and pleasure to address this "vocation", combining respect for the land and tradition, research, technology and
creativity.
These reasons have led us in the only direction possible: increase the family vineyards by planting native grapes or
close to this area, building a company itself where the manufacturing operations are carried out in compliance with all
of the raw materials, soil and time natural, from growth to maturity, from harvesting to aging in oak barrels, leveraging
our expertise and attention being given to innovative technologies. The choice of the name, "Azienda Agricola L'Arco
Antico", was dictated by the desire to respect and value tradition and culture, the arc is actually exists on land owned by
the family.
Our goal is to offer quality products that are found those characteristics expression of the territory, research, balance,
originality, elegance and passion. Azienda Agricola L'Arco Antico srl., thanks to a careful assessment of the area, chose
to devote himself to the cultivation and production of original vines of our lands: Tintilia, Montepulciano, Trebbiano,
Falanghina, to produce wines of colors, aromas and flavors marked, harmonic, intense, but also delicate and velvety just
like this our land of many facets that we can grasp only by ancient ties and the love that binds us to it.
In recent years the study of the "suitability of the wine-growing areas" has aroused a particular area and found a large
consideration in view of various environmental variables and their influence on the qualitative characteristics of grapes
and wine.
The hand of man has long intervened in our territories to grow vines and olive trees, in fact, several studies conducted
by local scholars and enthusiasts, we know that there are several architectural features dating back to the Roman Empire
that these testify agricultural activities, you can read about the valuable and detailed stories of the architect Franco
Valente, with whom we have defined the name to give to our flagship product, VINEA BENEDICTINA (Vigna di
Benedetto), this year with recognition DOC Molise.
Our company produces not only wine but also extra virgin olive oil DOP Molise and BIO, although we are certified
BIO also for wine.
It is the result of simple cold pressing of the olives and is suitable for everyone, because it is pure and digestible. The
extra virgin olive oil is a product uncontaminated, the oldest juice that makes unique dishes and is a valuable ally of the
welfare.
The excellent quality, appreciated delicacy and low acidity of our extra virgin olive oil derive not only by the method of
cold pressing, by the short time that passes between the harvest of the olives and their processing. The olives are always
harvested and processed the same day, which is important to the quality of the oil.
Hand picking, sourced exclusively from olives in the area of the plain of Pozzilli-Venafro and the surrounding
mountains, allows us to collect fruit intact and at the right stage of ripeness, to obtain an extra virgin olive oil fragrant
and free of odors. Then undergoes various processes of filtering, you get to a final product clear and harmonious.
