DANIMI
Camapnia & Puglia, Italy
The name Danimi is comprised of the names of founder Ciro Urciuolo’s three children; David, Nick, and Michela. The Urciuolo brothers sold their first vintage in 1996 from grapes grown on land where their family had raised chestnut trees for generations in the foothills of Mount Faliesi. The wines are an excellent expression of ancient varietals of the region, and the new brand represents the next generation of the family.
The winery is located in a part of Campania known as Irpinia, and the vineyards for the Danimi brand are scattered throughout Irpinia, and also in Puglia, where the Mediterranean climate and choice terroirs make for wines of excellent character. The Urciuolo family has proven their dedication to the indigenous grapes of the region, and to high quality production, which has earned them recognition and outstanding reviews.
We can’t wait for you to try the wines!
Region & Vineyard Notes
Salento, Puglia
The Salento peninsula, sometimes referred to as the heel of Italy’s boot, lies in the southern-most portion of Puglia, between the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea. The terroir here is typical of Puglia – hot, flat and dry. The landscape is dominated by olive groves on a scale quite unlike any other part of Italy. Puglia generates almost half of Italy's olive oil.
Campania DOC
One of Italy's oldest wine-growing regions, Campania dates back to the ancient Greek and Roman empires and is home to an impressive array of indigenous grape varieties, many of which are not grown anywhere else on earth. The rich volcanic soil combined with a hot Mediterranean climate make for wines of excellent character.
