Winemaker Notes: 

"A visit to Luigi Tecce can get you emotional. There’s no enologist and no agronomist; Luigi works in relative solitude. Maybe that’s why there’s such an affinity between him and the wines: exuberant and guarded, archaic and immediate, literary and literal; there’s something theatrical in their pleasure.

Although Luigi is known for his Aglianico, he sometimes makes a bianco from old vine Greco, Fiano, Coda di Volpe, and Moscato called Mamam. It was the name he would use to call his mother, who passed away in 2016. Luigi says it’s more of a tribute wine - more of a fun project, with some grapes coming from local friends. That may be true, but like all of Luigi’s wines, it’s “unico ed irripetibile.” First vintage was 2015, after that, five years passed before second vintage in 2020."
