Signoraginni Winery
We first met Giorgia Salierno a few years ago. She was diligently pruning vines on a late winter’s day in the vineyards of Conestabile della Staffa alongside Danilo Marcucci. Bright eyed and full of energy, her diminutive stature a direct contradiction to her oversized passion for the work at hand. Danilo was excited to have this young woman as his apprentice and was already telling me how diligent she was and dedicated to the life of a true natural wine farmer. Giorgia hadn’t made any wine of her own at that point, rather she was putting in her dues at the “School of Marcucci” and absorbing all she could before embarking on her own winemaking project.
Signoraginni is Giorgia’s vision and a dedication to the new generation of women in the wine world (still relatively rare in Italy though that’s changing quickly!) “In Donna Veritas” (in women there is truth) is her motto and it guides her on the winemaking and farming journey. Each cuvee is named after a woman of significance to Giorgia and in the fashion world. The Labels are a nod to her fashion designing past.
Giorgia is an outsider in a region still dominated by mass-production conventional winemaking. But like an artisan in the truest sense of the word, she is taking on the fast-fashion world of conventional winemaking, one handcrafted bottle of natural wine at a time.
