Pallagrello Bianco became a favourite 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 favourite 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 colour.
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.
