The Tenuta Adolfo Spada began in 1973, when Adolfo Spada acquired the Galluccio property, in the extreme north of Campania, in fulfilment of his dream to produce high-quality wines in one of Campania's most prestigious growing areas, the province of Caserta, origin of the Falernan wine so celebrated by the ancient Romans.
The Tenuta comprises 30 hectares, of which 25 are planted to vineyard; its true heart is the vineyard, in fact, purchased in the early years of the estate by a local notary, Sica. In his 1969 Guida all'Italia piacevole, the legendary Luigi Veronelli singled out Sica's farming estate when he praised the area's “warm and full-scented red-wine blends.”
