WINE BIOS

Bios wines are produced by the Scorziello Ianniello organic winery farm in the heart of Cilento. The Scorziello company is among the first companies that started the production of organic wines in Cilento. It was founded in 1979 by Marshal Scorziello Giuseppe with vineyards in Roccadaspide. Subsequently, after the death of the founder in 2003, the daughter Maria Rosaria and the son-in-law Mario Ianniello continued the business by extending the vineyard area on the land owned in Pollica. Originally the company practiced viticulture exclusively; in 1996 with the conviction of having a quality product and with the recognition of the Castel San Lorenzo DOC wines, the company became a wine producer, building its own company cellar in the middle of the vineyards on two levels plus cover destined to vinegar with a total development on the surface of about 500sqm.

The grapes are directly transformed into wine and are only those of own production:

-Barbera, Malvasia and Trebbiano on the land in Roccadaspide destined for DOP Castel San Lorenzo wines;

- Aglianico and Fiano on the Pollica lands registered in the Cilento PDO, but marketed as IGP Paestum because they are vinified in Roccadaspide, outside the Cilento DOP area.

In 1998 the company converted its nature into 100% organic cultivation and production. The wines produced and marketed under the Bios brand are certified organic by ICEA. The cellar is equipped with modern machinery to better enhance the quality of the grapes: pneumatic press and cold chain. Storage and aging takes place both in stainless steel wine vessels and in small oak barrels. The pomace is then given for distillation and obtaining the "Grappa del Cilento".

The future plans and development of the company are entrusted to the young pharmacist Venere Ianniello, grandson of the founder Giuseppe, with the implementation of a plant for the extraction of RESVERATROL: a molecule used in supplements as an antioxidant - the basic element of the MEDITERRANEAN DIET.
