Story
Founded in 1960 by 33 far-sighted and courageous members. Annual production is around 200,000 quintals of grapes. According to legend, Janare are witches who weave the secrets of the earth with silver moonbeams and dance in the shadow of a walnut tree, united by the enchantment of life. Their mysterious footsteps and bewitching laughter still resound among the vines. They are the Janare, creatures of the wind and bearers of an inborn wisdom. In reality, they are the women of Sannio, untamed to the point of becoming witches for the sake of legend. La Guardiense Winery has dedicated their wines to the Janare in order to pass on an ancient culture in a contemporary taste while keeping their magical aura alive.
