Description

2008 Michele Alois Murella 100% Pallagrello Nero
Fattoria Alois is located at the foothills of the Caiatini Mountains in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius in the province of Caserta where the Alois family, led by Michele and Massimo, cultivates nine beautiful hectares. Many generations of the family have worked in the silk business, producing fine textiles that have been displayed in the Louvre, the Vatican, the Quirinale (home of the president of Italy), and the White House. It was with this passion that they began producing wines in 2000, working with local varieties of Casavecchia, Pallagrello Bianco, Aglianico, and Falanghina grapes while adhering to biological and sustainable techniques and farming.

2007Gerardo Cesari Red Wine
90 points Wine Spectator "This grippy red shows a rich note of fresh earth supporting flavors of kirsch, date, damson plum preserves and cigar box, with a sublayer evoking the sweet smoke of burning vine clippings. Integrated tannins are lightly chewy toward the finish. Drink now through 2022." (10/ 2011)

2011 Luisi Pinot Grigio
The '11 Luisi Pinot Grigio serves up a New World, renegade spin on this varietal; ripe, bold, richer than the usual bill of fare.

2013 Fantinel Prosecco
"This prosecco has a beautiful straw yellow color accompanied by a fruity bouquet with hints of golden apples. It has a great aromatic taste which fills the mouth with flavors of both fruit and minerality."
