The Alepa winery is a lively artisan property that has been in operation, since the 1980s, in Caiazzo in the province of Caserta in south of Italy, a hilly area of rare beauty and rich in biodiversity. In the early 2000s Paola Riccio took over the reins of the family business, and to honour the history of the territory, she imediately introduced Pallagrello, the native vine of the area, a rare biotype that exists in both white and red berried grapes.

The agricultural system of Alepa has always been attentive to the need to have a minimal environmental impact, and in recent years they have come to completely eliminate all synthetic products and to carry out the fight against vine pathogens with the sole use of sulfur and copper, having gradually reduced their quantities, and without the use of herbicides and pesticides.
