Our story → Since 1892
Cantina dei Quinti: winery in Campania, in the province of Salerno
Since 1892, a winery bringing together land, generations and wine
A farming story that began in 1892, five generations of the Rago family, and a project now taking shape in the vineyards of the Tanagro Valley. Cantina dei Quinti is a winery in Campania, born from the family’s desire to continue its relationship with the land.
The fifth generation chose to invest in vines and wine, bringing together farming experience and new expertise. Our winery in the province of Salerno tells this story through a selection of white, red, rosé and sparkling wines, each expressing a different facet of a shared vision.
Our roots
A winery in Campania with roots in the history of the Rago family
Our connection with farming dates back to 1892, when Gaetano Rago began cultivating the land. Ever since, working the fields has carried the family through different eras and crops, building a wealth of experience passed down to this day.
From tomatoes and tobacco to salad greens and vineyards, each step has called for hard work, keen observation and an openness to change. Generations have followed one another, guided by one constant: the land, to be understood and cultivated with respect.
Cantina dei Quinti’s current project grew out of this farming heritage. 1892 marks the beginning of the family’s history in agriculture; the decision to focus on wine is the chapter written by the fifth generation.
The present
Winery in Campania: The fifth generation of the Rago family
The name Cantina dei Quinti refers to the fifth generation of the Rago family. Eight young people have decided to continue the path begun by their ancestors, investing in the region and its viticultural potential.
At the heart of the project are more than 12 hectares of vineyards in the Tanagro Valley, at the foot of the Monti Alburni. Here, the family’s experience meets contemporary tools and expertise, from vine growing to winemaking.
Carrying this story forward means taking on a real responsibility: preserving what we have inherited and helping it grow through daily work, season after season.
The region
Our winery in the province of Salerno: vineyards in the Tanagro Valley
The vineyards lie between Contursi Terme and Sicignano degli Alburni, in a landscape where the Alburni Mountains accompany the changing seasons and the work in the vineyard.
The microclimate, soils and characteristics of the grapes are central to our project. Understanding them means observing how the vines grow, following the ripening of the bunches and adapting our growing choices to the needs of the vineyard.
The Tanagro Valley is where our farming story finds a new expression. Our direct connection with the land shapes the identity of our winery.
