About Tenuta Cavalier Pepe
Tenuta Cavalier Pepe is a winery with 60 hectares of vineyards and 11 hectares of olive groves. 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. They are located in 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.
Thanks to the unique combination of altitude, soil and microclimate, Irpinia’s vines are among Italy’s most prestigious.
