A deep straw yellow in color, crisp and luscious on the palate, and with enough weight and grippy texture to stand up to something rich and meaty, while also fantastic on its own.
Pallagrello Bianco became a favorite of King Ferdinand IV. He set aside a place for the grape in his famous "Vigna del Ventaglio", or (Fan-shaped) Vineyard, which was reserved only for his favorite vines. It's a much-loved, yet almost extinct, green-skinned grape variety thought to have originated in Campania. Alepa's Pallegrello is like browned butter, slate and white flower, with a warm amber color.
100% Pallagrello nero, a grape grown almost exclusively in Campania. Noted for cherry on the nose and palate, with pepper and spice characteristics, and tannins enabling the wine to be laid down for a time.
Hundred-year-old vines planted in a pre-phylloxera cru, the grapes are fermented and matured five years in chesnut and acacia casks. In that time, the wine isn't topped up, thereby developing a veil of yeast. The result is a wine of depth and delicacy.
From the same prime parcels as the Joaquin 'Della Societa' Taurasi. Despite not being eligible for that prestigious designation, 2020 was still a great growing season in Taurasi, making 'I Viaggiatori' ("the travellers") an excellent wine for the cellar.
