\"raffaele_cellardoor\"<\/a>Since the end of the nineteenth century, the Troisi\u00a0family of Azienda Agricola Vadiaperti<\/strong> has championed the wines of Irpinia, a historic vine-growing region in southern Italy.<\/p>\n

Winemaker Raffaele Troisi is a vine grower from a generations-long line of passionate family members who dedicated their lives to the fruit of the vine. Raffaele\u2019s great-grandfather Antonio was its\u00a0vanguard, moving to the United States in the early 1900s to establish a wine importing company focused on sourcing pure wines from Irpinia\u00a0to sell in New York.<\/p>\n

Back home in Montefredane, his son Raffaele was the first Troisi to plant vines, with an eye to local varieties such as Fiano and Coda di Volpe. While Raffaele died young, his wife Elisa kept his vision alive, and over the decades, became one of the region\u2019s most knowledgeable vine growers, a natural talent who could determine the health of her vines or the right time to harvest by sight and touch.<\/p>\n

It was Elisa\u2019s son Antonio who took the family farm into the commercial realm, bottling in 1984 the very first single-variety Fiano wine. And Antonio\u2019s son Raffaele\u2014who today runs the family estate in Montefredane\u2014worked side by side with his father in the cantina and the fields for years, before he took the reins himself\u00a0in 1998.<\/p>\n

Since then, his focus as a Troisi has remained true: honor Irpinia\u2019s native grapes, its exceptional soils, and the traditions and knowledge of those before him. And exceptional certainly describes this estate: vineyards are located from 1,200 to 2,100 feet above sea level in the hills of Montefredane, on volcanic \u201ctufo\u201d soils. The mild Mediterranean climate, the cooler temperatures at altitude, and the mineral-rich soils combine for white wines of impeccable balance and finesse.<\/p>\n

FARMING & WINEMAKING<\/strong><\/p>\n

Estate vineyards are located in and around the town of Montefredane, from 1,200 to 2,100 feet above sea level. Soils combine clay, volcanic rock and well-draining tufo, which are all mineral-rich soils. Vines range from 25 to 70 years old. At these higher altitudes, harvest typically runs into mid-October.<\/p>\n

The family historically has only made single-variety wines; in fact, winemaker Raffaele Troisi\u2019s father was the first to bottle a commercial single-variety Fiano wine.<\/p>\n

Grapes are harvested by hand and pressed full cluster, fermenting on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Wines are aged on fine lees in tank from between a few months to two years, depending on the wine.<\/p>\n

Coda di Volpe is a white grape native to Campania, and its name means \u201ctail of the fox.\u201d\u00a0 All tank made. Aromas of honey, wet stone and herbs. Lively and juicy, with a resinous, honeyed finish.<\/p>\n
