The I Favati Vineyards in Irpinia, Italy

The I Favati wine history dates back to the early 1900s, when the family’s ancestors began making wine for their own table and for a few close friends. The winery is located in the province of Avellino and has vineyards in all three of the local DOCG areas, producing excellent examples of Greco, Fiano and Taurasi wines. Their first commercial vintage was released to the market in 2000 which was the Fiano di Avellino. 

The Estate is managed entirely by the family, Rosanna and her daughter Carla, her husband Giancarlo Favati and his brother Piersabino Favati. Their philosophy is that “il vino e’ fatto nelle vigne” - the literal translation being “wine is made in the vineyards” -  but in practice the approach is that if you grow healthy grapes with minimal or no chemical intervention, the hardest part is over. In the cellar, they truly go to lengths to make sure the wine is of highest quality, a wine that can maintain its integrity without additives. Despite their recent commercial history, the wines of I Favati  already belong to the very best Irpinia  can offer. This is a great range of wines which will certainly be well received by the discerning drinker.
