From the ancient family passion for the countryside, from the desire to carry on those traditions and to enhance what makes our territory special, the farm Le Crete - Tenute Casoli was born in 2008. 
A young company wanted and carried on by young people, with the indispensable help and experience of the family, which now cultivates about 13 hectares of vineyards, all located in the province of Avellino, mainly intended for the production of Greco di Tufo DOCG and other great wines of Irpinia (Fiano di Avellino DOCG, Taurasi DOCG and Aglianico DOC). 

The company is located in Irpinia, a territory traditionally suited for viticulture, from which, thanks to a careful management of agronomic resources, as well as a careful and careful selection of grapes, are born wines of great prestige and quality. 

The headquarters of the company is Palazzo Iorio, an eighteenth century mansion, recently undergoing a major restoration, which combines the production/processing of agricultural products and that of wine tourism and hospitality, with tasting rooms, holiday homes for the overnight stay of our guests and rooms for conferences, corporate events or private receptions.
