Tenuta Cavalier Pepe is a winery with 60 hectares of vineyards and 11 hectares of olive groves located in Luogosano, Sant’Angelo all’Esca and Taurasi, in the province of Avellino. This is the heart of Irpinia, the premier winegrowing area of Campania. Since ancient times, Campania has been known to produce quality wines, such as Falerno, Greco, Faustiniano and Caleno. These were considered the “wines of the emperors” and praised by the greatest classic writers like Cicero, Plinio, Martial and Tibullo. The region is ideal for wine production thanks to the characteristics of its terroir, as well as local cultivation and winemaking techniques. There are currently 15 DOC-level appellations and four DOCGs, of which three are found in Irpinia – Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Taurasi.
