Santa Sofia operates in Sannio, a volcanic region of Campania in southern Italy where ancient soils and Mediterranean climate shape distinctive red wines. The winery focuses on Aglianico and Sangiovese, grapes native to the region's terroir. Samnis Gladiator Sannio Superiore Rosso, a blend of these varieties, represents the winery's approach to the region's potential. The wine has been assessed by Falstaff, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. Sannio's elevation and mineral-rich volcanic substrate lend structure and complexity to its reds—characteristics evident in Santa Sofia's core offering.
