Curiosity & insights

The name of the wine was inspired by "Jumara" that in local dialect it's used to mean the river Calore. It divides municipality of Torre le Nocelle and Taurasi and delineates the valley. The Calore of Irpinia (different from the homonymous Calore Lucano, a tributary of the Sele) is a river 108 km long and is the main tributary of the Volturno River. It rises at Picentini Montains and It is thought that its name derives from the peculiarities of the temperature of the water that comes higher than that of the tributaries Tammaro and Sabato. For this characteristic until the 60s in the summer we bathed in the river and this was the only small to escape the summer heat for the locals...also for our family and workers.
