Tenuta Cavalier Pepe is a family owned winery in the heart of Irpinia in Campania. The estate is best known for the cultivation of Falanghina Beneventana and the production of a range of the region’s classic appellation wines, notably the red Taurasi.
“Gives an attractive, modestly aromatic nose of citrus - notably golden apple, pear and some kiwi. Well balanced, with refreshing acidity, it offers mellow yellow fruit notes on the palate. Finishes smooth, and persistent.”
“Seductive, ethereal nose of black cherry and ripe berries, some notes of plum and forest floor as well. In time eucalyptus emerges. On the palate there is more black fruit with with sweet spices and a touch of leather. Medium bodied wine, but well structured and well balanced. Only just beginning to soften so still quite a few years ahead of it.”
“Fresh citrusy aroma of lemon and grapefruit sit alongside reticent scents of honeysuckle and lily. On the palate there are soft tropical notes of peach and pineapple, lifted by zesty acidity. Finishes with a gentle and sapid note of herb and bitter almond.”
“Simple but pleasant aroma of apple and pair. Well balanced, fragrant. Modest weight to it, and certainly a good, approachable expression of Falanghina Beneventana. Clean finish, with very faint notes of almond.”
