The Salvatore Molettieri winery was founded in 1983, giving entrepreneurial dignity to a long farming experience and a winemaking tradition that dates back at least four generations. From that year on, Salvatore, owner of the company, chose to no longer sell his grapes to third parties and to start producing the wine he sells in bulk. This first production obtained important successes already on the occasion of the Wine Festival of Montemarano, its country of origin, ranking first in the years 1985-1986-1987-1988. In that year Salvatore also included the bottling process in his business, giving life to the Taurasi DOC Riserva 1988. A long work in the ancient family vineyards and thirty years of business experience have implemented the knowledge of Salvatore, winemaker in the field and producer in the cellar, leading the company to occupy a prominent position on the national and international wine market. Since 1983 the company has evolved considerably, while retaining the original identity of a farm intact which is also maintained in the cultivation of about two hectares of olive groves where different cultivars (frantoiana, leccina, ravece) are bred for the production of an oil blend for family consumption.

Salvatore is flanked by his four sons, Giovanni, Giuseppe, Luigi and Paolo, in the management and management of the company, and the discreet and collaborative presence of Mrs. Angela, guardian of family traditions, especially in the kitchen. Taking advantage of the specialist advice of his son Giovanni, an oenologist, Salvatore Molettieri can say with satisfaction that he has reached the goal he had set himself: bringing the name of Montemarano outside the borders of Irpinia, tying it to a high quality production appreciated by connoisseurs and experts of the sector.

There are over 13 hectares of land kept as vineyards, lying at about 500/600 m. on the hills of Montemarano, one of the towns belonging to the Taurasi DOCG area. The territory is particularly suited to viticulture, allowing the production of Irpinia DOC Aglianico and Irpinia DOC Campi Taurasini, Irpinia DOC Rosso, Taurasi and Taurasi Riserva DOCG, and the whites Fiano DOCG and Greco di Tufo DOCG. Located in the Iampenne district, the “Cinque Querce” vineyard reached 20 years of DOCG harvest in 2012, and boasts a selection of Aglianico vines, some of which also date back to the pre-phylloxera period and still ungrafted. From the radial system, we moved on to spurred cordon and modified guyot breeding, renewing the system layouts to make the production qualitatively better. The company also owns the "Ischa Piana" vineyard, intended for the production of Irpinia DOC Rosso. "Renonno" has been producing Aglianico grapes for over 70 years, and the replanting that took place partly 5 years ago and partly still today contemplates the renewal of the vineyard through the use of cuttings from old vines, some of which are still ungrafted.
