About the Producer:
The once noble
land of Campania flourished in the time of the Romans only to suffer
a fate of “vino da tavola” before being awakened in 1968
with Mastroberardino's critically acclaimed Taurasi. But more importantly,
the focus of the region is neither the collectible Taurasi nor the
magical wine Montevetrano, but rather
the resurrection of many antique varietals. Thanks to producers like
Villa Carafa, we can now enjoy these little-known, forgotten treasures.
The home of Villa Carafa is in Caserta, a province that has recently
emerged into the public eye with its outstanding volcanic soils and
indigenous varietals. It is here that the Caputo brothers drive the
estate’s artistry with the guidance of Italy’s dynamo
enologist Lorenzo Landi. With additional vineyards scattered throughout
Campania, this wine house truly has some outstanding offerings.
