History
A Family History
Cantine Iannella was founded in 1920 by will of the head of the family Giovanni Iannella. The family-run business, a feature that will remain unchanged over time, initially had a production that was limited to only 50 quintals of wine. The wines produced were Aglianico and Coda di Volpe.
In 1955, Nicola Iannella, son of the founder Giovanni, continued the winemaking activity, who expanded the premises and increased production capacity, increasingly favoring the controlled denomination of origin (C.D.O/D.O.C.).
Since 1992, Antonio Iannella, who has supported his father Nicola, between grapes and barrels, has learned the fortunes of the company, learning the secrets of the winemaker.

Between tradition and innovation
The nineties mark an important turning point because they allow the winery to make an important qualitative leap. The historical production of Aglianico and Coda di Volpe are flanked by Falanghina and Piedirosso.
The growth and diffusion of bottled wines lead Antonio to expand the small family winery, thanks to a territory with a mild climate and hilly landscape, characterized by land with specific peculiarities, which is well suited to the cultivation of quality grapes.
In 2001, a large and modern plant began to be built, introducing new technologies for winemaking and bottling and a diversification of the production of wines from its vineyards. After years of sacrifices and full dedication, in 2015 a new structure was added to the production plant to better accommodate customers and wine tourists from all over the world. There are four cozy rooms, a conference room and a tasting room, as well as the barrel room where they refine the best wines of the company.
