Gioviano is Il Cancelliere's Irpinia Aglianico DOC, sourced from the contrada Iampenne in Montemarano, a village in the province of Avellino at 450 to 550 meters elevation. The vines are approximately 20 years old, planted on clay-limestone soils with a north-facing exposure, trained in vertical trellis with spurred cordon pruning. Yield is held to 70 quintals per hectare.
In the cellar, grapes are destemmed and undergo alcoholic fermentation with about 20 days of skin maceration at ambient temperature, followed by pressing with a pneumatic press. The wine then rests on fine lees in stainless steel for roughly 6 months, spends approximately 18 months in large 35-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks, and ages a minimum of 12 months in bottle before release.
No filtration, no fining, no stabilization, and no added sulfites at any stage. Gioviano is listed at RAW WINE and VinNatur, two natural wine fair circuits that require adherence to strict no-additive standards. Total sulfites remain below 10 mg/L.
Irpinia Aglianico DOC gained its appellation in 2005 and sits within Campania's Avellino province, the same zone that produces Taurasi DOCG. Montemarano is one of the more elevated and cooler subzones, giving the Aglianico longer hang time and firm but refined tannins compared to warmer lowland expressions.
