Lila from Tenuta Cavalier Pepe is an Irpinia Falanghina that captures the freshness of the Campanian hills. The grapes come from higher vineyards on volcanic and calcareous soils which bring tension and fine minerality. The bouquet offers pineapple, banana, ripe apple and pear juice, supported by white blossom and a touch of citrus. On the palate the wine is juicy, lively and slightly creamy, with crisp acidity carrying the fruit into a long finish. A delicate salty edge and firm backbone recall its origins in the mountainous hinterland of Avellino. Lila is a versatile partner for antipasti, seafood, grilled fish, vegetable dishes and light pasta.
In the green heart of Irpinia, Campania, Tenuta Cavalier Pepe in the region Campania sits among rolling hills and cool elevations. The Pepe family has grown grapes for generations; entrepreneur Angelo Pepe carried that legacy into a modern estate—honoured in 1998 with the “Cavaliere” title—where cellar, vineyards and hospitality form one coherent vision....
