Description

Falanghina is an ancient vine that has found its best expression in Campania. It is believed that the etymon derives from the Latin falanga, or pole, to which the vine was supported. Lila is the result of the vinification of pure Falanghina grapes grown on the farm that give a falanghina irpinia, fresh, mineral and very fruity.

The Pepe family is an ancient one in Irpinia, which has for generations been dedicated to the production of wines, marketed throughout Italy and internationally. Entrepreneur Angelo Pepe, following his intuition and driven by a love for his land, worked hard to write the next chapter in the family’s history. The result was Tenuta Cavalier Pepe, cellar, winery, restaurant and hospitality that has become a centre for wine production and tourism of the highest quality.

Angelo Pepe’s foresight was rewarded in 1998 when then Italian President, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro, appointed him a "Knight of the Republic" for the value of his work. The Cavalier Pepe’s eldest daughter, Milena, is a graduate of viticulture and oenology in France and marketing in Belgium. Today, she leads the family estate with charisma and expertise, ensuring that the wines meet the highest standards.
