"Oโgnostro" is a local term for wine in the Neapolitan dialect and literally translates to "ink." The concept at the heart of Oโgnostro is the quest for bottling the uniqueness of a terroir that is near and dear to Marco Tinessa's heart. Marco is not from a winemaking family. He fell in love with wine as a hobby and quickly started visiting iconic winemakers and getting his hands on as many bottles as possible. Marco's admiration for the Taurasi of the 1960s and 1970s grew into an obsession and his fascination with the early days of the natural wine movement in France gave his perspective on wine a direction. Together, both of those elements pushed Marco to start O'gnostro. The wine is made from a twenty-five year old vineyard located in Montemarano. Montemarano is, in Marco's view and those who miss the glory days of old school Taurasi, the best area of Taurasi.
