Established in 1990, Mirvita Opificium Arte Vino vineyards are spread over an area of 27 acres (11 hectares) with an average elevation of about 800 feet (240 meters) above sea level and are located in the northwest part of the “DOP” wine region of Castel del Monte, an historical grape-growing and wine-making territory within the Puglia Imperiale.

The vineyards are located in the rolling hills of Minervino Murge and extend towards the Alta Murgia National Park running into the ancient river Ofanto and towards the Vulture area of neighboring Lucania.Terroir unique and generous, optimal sun exposure, wine-making technological innovation, innovative and inspiring architecture, commitment to environment protection and biodiversity conservation, water saving system, photovoltaic power generation, wastewater treatment plant by phyto-purification in a pristine rural landscape have led Mirvita to a step change.

Since the early nineties, Mirvita Opificium Arte Vino focused on the enhancement of indigenous grapes such as Nero di Troia, Moscato Bianco, Aglianico and Bombino Nero.
Mirvita has been nominated by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture an “Italian Rural Project of Excellence”. This recognition has been a strong impetus for the winery to continue on the path of technological innovation and renewal of the Italian wine cultural heritage. This new systemic vision is based on the following pillars: protection, preservation and enhancement of indigenous grapes; building a modern winery architecturally inspired by Suprematism, art movement and, finally, an avant-garde’s concept of wine marketing.

Mirvita can be seen as a modern wine cathedral open to the territory and guardian of the Italian wine cultural heritage. Through the perception of the spatial dimension, a winery dedicated to the production of wines of excellence has evolved into an emotional and dynamic space that arouses emotions, which slowly help tracing in the visitor’s mind its own personal history.
