Donnachiara is a contemporary winery based in Montefalcione in the province of Avellino, at the heart of Irpinia in Campania — one of Southern Italy’s most important quality wine regions and home to the three DOCG appellations of Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Taurasi. Established in 2005 by the Petitto family, the estate builds on generations of viticultural heritage, transitioning from grape growing to a fully integrated wine producer. Today, Donnachiara focuses on the expression of indigenous varieties through a balance of tradition and technical precision, combining high-altitude vineyard sites, sustainable practices and ongoing research to produce wines that reflect the identity of Irpinia. 

Indigenous varieties: Including Fiano, Greco di Tufo and Aglianico, with a strong emphasis on regional identity

Female-led estate: CEO Ilaria Petitto represents a new generation of leadership in a historically male-dominated industry

Flagship Taurasi: Regional benchmark Aglianico wines, with strong accolades and acclaim

Sustainability driven: Integrated vineyard management, renewable energy use and water recycling systems underpin the estate’s philosophy

High-altitude sites: Estate vineyards located up to 600m elevation, supporting freshness, structure and ageing potential
