WHITE 'CASA DI CAMPAGNA' ALEPA 2022 DESCRIPTION

Alepa's 'Casa di Campagna' White is a generous wine from Campania that brings fruit and sunshine. Alepa is the winery founded by Paola Riccio, who with passion and dedication has decided to enhance an area of Campania as vocated as the Casertano area, but which often takes second place to the more famous Taurasi or Taburno areas. Paola has been running 3 hectares in Caiazzo for over 30 years, always adopting a healthy and respectful agriculture, using only very small amounts of sulphur and copper, and turning her attention to the perfect ripeness of the grapes. In the cellar, the same credo is followed, working only with indigenous yeasts, more or less lengthy ageing depending on the type of liquid, and maceration on the skins, which also partly involves the white wines. Another aspect that enhances Paola's work is the safekeeping of local indigenous vines, including Pallagrello bianco and nero, alongside small quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon.

The White 'Casa di Campagna' is made with Greco and Falanghina grapes harvested from the vineyards of Caiazzo, which rest on predominantly clayey soils. In the vineyard, as already mentioned, no chemical or synthetic products are used, making use only of sulphur and copper in homeopathic doses, and in the cellar, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and refinement of the liquid for 12 months in steel containers are carried out consistently. The wine does not undergo clarification or filtration before bottling.

Alepa White 'Casa di Campagna' presents itself in the goblet with an intense yellow colour that turns towards orange. Olfactory impact of great intensity, declined on orange peel, wild herbs and ripe yellow fruit. The palate is no less rich in terms of richness, proving to be filling and full-bodied, and dragging in a notable persistence, lengthened by a thick saline contribution. Frankly, not to be missed at this price.

Colour

Scent

Notes of cedar, honey, citrus, Mediterranean scrub and saline hints

Fresh, straightforward, sunny and good drinking, with a good alcohol content

When to drink
Wine good to drink now, but that can have a beautiful evolution after resting for a while in your cellar
Glass
Medium open goblet
Perfect for young and medium bodied white wines which don't require excessive oxygenation to open. The opening, slightly tighter than the body of the glass, favors the concentration of aromas towards the nose, enhancing the perception of aromas and limiting the dispersion
Longevity
You can let it rest in the cellar quietly for 2-3 years
