Vuolo Mila
The winemaker Mila Vuolo is a reference point for wine in the hilly territory of Salerno, author of Fiano and Aglianico with a strong territorial identity. Her name is locally well-known and is closely linked to the feeling of a Salernitan enological renaissance, but outside the regional borders, her small production has remained a niche, the privilege of a few lucky enthusiasts.
The story of the Mila Vuolo winery began in the early 2000s, when Mila left her job as a computer scientist in Rome to fully dedicate herself to her father's estate: thirteen hectares of olive trees, vines, hazelnuts, and many other trees surrounding an old country house on the hills of Giovi, just outside the city of Salerno. The key word of this adventure is 'Passion', a word that simultaneously identifies the toponym of the small locality where the winery is located, the ancient wine that was produced on the hills of Salerno, and the strong motivation that led Mila to leave the frenzy of the city to dedicate herselfto agriculture. Starting from 2000, the international grape varieties that made up the small vineyard of almost 4 hectares were uprooted, replaced with Fiano and Aglianico vines, and within a few years, a production of about 100 hectoliters was born, accompanied by extra virgin olive oil and high-quality organic hazelnuts from Giffoni.
The wines of Mila Vuolo have received positive reviews from critics since their first appearance in 2006 and were immediately hailed as the flag bearers of the enological resurgence of an ancient and highly vocated territory that, in recent years, struggled to find new and convincing interpreters. The wines produced here benefit from the clayey hilly soils, good temperature excursions, the humid winds of the Gulf of Salerno, and the cooler breezes from the nearby Monti Picentini. Thus, Mediterranean and characteristic expressions are born, capable of enhancing a great terroir of Campania.
