Fattoria Alois
At the foothills of the Caiatini mountains in the city of Caserta, in a plateau comprised of 9 beautiful hectares; Michele Alois has made his dream come true.
The vineyard, cellar and rural home with Bourbon origins dating from the early eighteen hundreds. The vineyards that surround the estate form a natural amphitheatre of hills, not far from the inactive volcano of Roccamonfina and from the Matese’s Mountains.
From its elevated position the weather has a positive infulence which is a critical factor in the grape maturation. Michele’s goal is to give the Campania region’s in digenous grapes their own splendour using genuine biological techniques to obtain quality wines from the antique Casavecchia and Pallagrello grapes; all rediscovered by the Bourbon family, and the traditional Falanghina and Aglianico grapes. Fiano (Bees) – It’s a fairly strong flavored white grape that takes its name from the Latin ‘vitis apiana’, as the grapes were so sweet they proved to be irresistible to bees (“api”). Even today bees are strongly attracted to sugary pulp of Fiano grapes and are a prevalent sight in the vineyards around Campania.
