Alois Caiati Palagrello Bianco 2023
$31.00Add to cartThe Alois family has roots in the Italian silk business dating back to the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. In the 1990s family patriarch Michele decided to break with the family tradition of supplying silks to the crowned heads of Europe as well as the Louvre Museum and the White House to embark on a new adventure, restoring forgotten varietals and vinifying them.
Today he an his sons work 20 acres in the foothills of the Caiatini Mountains in the province of Caserta, where they make notable examples of Campanian grapes like Falanghina, Fiano and Greco and of course its stately noble red Aglianico, but what really sets Alois apart is their focus on reviving ancient varieties nearly lost to phylloxera, specifically Casavecchia, Palagrello Bianco, and Palagrello Nero.

Ca’ Lojera Lugana 2023
$30.00Add to cartCa’Lojera translates from the local dialect to “House of the Wolf” and is the family seat of the vignerons. It’s those symbols that decorate the etiquette of the bottle and give it its name. We think it’s delicious and interesting. The perfect wine to take to a party with some other wine lovers. There’s a bit of red fruit nuance that adds a totally unique element to this white wine.

La Rivolta Fiano 2022
$28.00Add to cartIn antiquity, the Fiano grape was known as apiana, as its sweet berries were attractive to bees. Vines were traditionally found near hazelnut orchards, which has seemingly influenced the grape’s flavor profile. However, it is in the town of Avellino where the Fiano grape produces its most mineral-driven wines with long aging potential.
The Cotroneo family has embraced a sustainable approach to viticulture, and the beautiful organic vineyards of Fattoria La Rivolta are nestled among the picturesque and mountainous landscapes of Campania’s Taburno DOC, one of the smallest in Sicily. The wines they produce are delicious.
This is a beautifully delicate wine, with hints of fresh fruit, almond, hazelnut, citrus fruits, herbs, white flowers, and dried flowers. On the palate, this is a full-bodied wine with light fruit and floral notes.
