Tasting Notes: The Michele Alois Trebulanum is a monster, a really rich wine. Smoked bacon, red licorice, pipe tobacco, tar and incense waft aromatically from the glass. The Casavecchia variety, a long-lost and now recently rediscovered ancient variety native to Campania, really leaves its mark.
Estate History: The Alois family has roots in the Italian fine silk business going to the Kingdom of Two Sicily’s. Breaking tradition with the family tradition of supplying silks to the crowned heads of Europe as well as the Louvre Museum and the White House, family patriarch Michele decided in the early 1990s to embark on a new adventure, restoring forgotten varietals and making wine from them.
