Azienda Agricola I Favati
Wednesday 22nd February
We are pleased to announce a special event, with Rossana Petrozziello and her daughter Carla from Cantine I Favati
I Favati is Campania's traditional family estate. Situated in the village of Cesinali East of Naples in one of Italy's most exciting and innovative wine regions, The proprietors of this family-run estate have selected the finest vineyards in which to nurture this region's unique, indigenous varietals.
The results have been remarkable , the wines are getting more recognition .
Despite Campania‟s southern latitude it is home to some of Italy’s most enduring whites: wines with complexity,freshness and a whiff of exotic fruit. The secret lies in the soil; the volcanic detritus of Mount Vesuvius is rich in minerals and ideally suited to the cultivation of white grapes. With 2,000 years to adapt to both soil and climate grapes such as Fiano and Greco mature gracefully well into October the wines have great complexity as they mature.
The reds can be equally impressive. Less than fifty kilometers inland from Naples one finds the dilapidated hamlet of Taurasi, home to one of the south’s most aristocratic grapes, Aglianico.
Alex has created a sumptuous four-course menu with a spectacular wine pairing showcasing a range of wines from Cantine I Favati
