OUR GRAPES
Favorita Wine is born from a limited and select production, designed for those who seek truth, character, and refinement in their glass.
Asprinio di Aversa
The signature white grape of the Agro Aversano region, grown using the ancient Alberata Aversana system. In this traditional method, the vines climb up poplar trees to heights of 15–20 meters, creating spectacular green barriers. While it is a biotype of Greco Bianco, it maintains a unique identity: vibrant acidity, extreme freshness, and a deep connection to Campania’s rural traditions. It is ideal for sparkling wines with a bold character or as a versatile white perfect for any occasion.
Pallagrello Nero
An ancient native Campania grape variety, it was once a star of the Bourbon royal vineyards and the famous Vigna del Ventaglio at the Royal Palace of Caserta. Nearly lost following the phylloxera plague and the world wars, it was rediscovered in the 1990s and has returned today as one of the rarest gems of regional viticulture. This is a red wine of great charm and personality, available to discover and purchase directly in our shop.
The Land
Our vineyards are located in Campania, in the heart of the province of Caserta, between the fertile lands of Villa Literno and Aversa.
It is a unique territory, kissed by the sun and caressed by the Tyrrhenian wind, where native grape varieties tell the story of centuries of history and culture.
FAVORITA FARMHOUSE
In 1799, the villa was restored and embellished as a former hunting estate for Ferdinand IV of Bourbon. The name Favorita stems from the adjective used by his wife, Her Majesty Maria Carolina of Austria, to distinguish our Farmhouse as her personal favorite among them all.
Today, after years of neglect, we have completely renovated and secured the remaining ruins, transforming the site into a winery powered 100% by renewable energy.
THE FOUNDER
My name is Vincenzo and, before becoming a wine producer, I served in Italy as an officer in the Guardia di Finanza, dedicating myself to the protection of law and justice.
Through traveling and engaging with different cultures, I realized that the true wealth of my country was right before my eyes: the land.
With the help of my father-in-law Mario, an agronomist with over forty years of experience, I rediscovered the profound value of agricultural work and the beauty of transforming passion into a life project. Today, I live in Rotterdam, where I have chosen to bring my family's wine beyond Italian borders.
