Located in the enchanting region of Campania, Italy, Cantina del Barone winery is a testament to centuries of winemaking heritage. Nestled in Cesinali, a quaint agricultural hub in the province of Avellino, the Sarno family has dedicated generations to nurturing the land and crafting exceptional Italian wines.
In the mid-1990s, Antonio Sarno acquired the winery from a Neapolitan baron, continuing the family’s commitment to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir and climate of the region.
The volcanic soil at Cantina del Barone is rich in minerals, providing an ideal environment for grape cultivation. With southern exposure, the vineyards benefit from abundant sunlight, complemented by the influences of Monte Terminio and Monte Partenio. All grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed in the cellar, allowing the stems to contribute antioxidants and tannins to the fermenting must. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks without added yeasts, lasting approximately two weeks.
Cantina del Barone produces notable wines such as Paone and Parrticella 928. The winery is a founding member of ViTi (Winegrowers in d’Irpinia), a collective of producers dedicated to sustainable and chemical-free winemaking practices. This commitment ensures that each bottle reflects the purity of the land and the passion of its caretakers.

Write a reviewMy husband and 2 of our friends stayed at Luigi's wonderful cottage in the vineyard for 3 evenings. The cottage was very comfortable, clean, and centrally located. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Luigi's mother each morning as she brought over the delicious breakfast of warm croissants, fresh from the farm fruits, juice, and coffee. Spending time on the vineyard with the peacocks, chickens, vines, and fruit trees was so relaxing, especially with a glass of Luigis Cantina del Barone Fiano di Avelino. I wish we could have stayed longer and look forward to possibly returning!

Grande Fiano, fruit of the passion of the owner Luigi, dedicated to organic cultivation and experimentation with vine breeding with a particular arrangement of the rows to the sun's radiation.

What can I say, one of the greatest exponents of Fiano di Avellino. In Cesinali he gave life to a reality that existed but lacked solid foundations. For those who want to capture the essence of the vine and perceive its peculiarities, it is highly recommended to visit this small winery in one of the villages that expresses, more than all and together with the most well-known, unique characteristics. Luigi is an out of the ordinary character, available, devoted and humble like few others, then one wonders why some wines (parceled naturally) come out of the highest quality? Pop in here to meet Luigi and maybe you'll understand!

A perfect place to enjoy excellent wines and stay in a friendly and family environment. Located just outside Avellino it is very easy to reach but at the same time is located in a very relaxing rural setting surrounded by mountains. The owner Luigi, in addition to being a perfect host, is a passionate and very competent sommelier who will make you appreciate the excellent local wines.
