PAPA has its roots in the early decades of the 1900s. On June 24, 1933, the first family productions received awards from the Ambulante Chair of Agriculture of Naples, however until 1960 the production had more a meaning of representation than of economic value.

We are a family business with generations of ties to the upper Campania region in general and to Falciano del Massico in particular (province of Caserta), a municipality that extends towards the “Litorale Domizio,” a stretch of Campanian coast that takes its name from the ancient Via Domiziana, a Roman road built by Emperor Domitian in 95 AD to connect Puteoli (Pozzuoli) with the rest of the empire.
The history here has ancient roots and we have always worked to ensure that this portion of land, known in ancient times as “Ager Falernus”, was enhanced and preserved. This is why we practice organic farming and process only our own grapes.
We have a total of approximately 9 hectares of vineyards, reclaimed from the mountainside and painstakingly reclaimed; cultivated in micro-areas that are difficult to mechanize, delimited by dry stone walls that we have renovated stone by stone.
Our wines are produced with full respect for history, civilization, and the land, and our goal is to offer customers a modern interpretation that is faithful to the characteristics of the native vines of our area.
Today, the estate comprises approximately 15 hectares of these nine hectares, with the remainder dedicated to arable land, olive groves, and fruit orchards. The vineyards are all located on the southern slopes of Mount Massico, overlooking the Campania plain. Many are nestled on gentle hillsides or on large terraces bordered by dry stone walls, which over time, albeit with great effort, we have managed to restore. This location allows them to benefit from a microclimate typically found only at altitudes higher than the 150-350 meters above sea level where they are located.
Years of vineyard research are yielding the results we were looking for, and our experience in the cellar has grown. Decades of work are leading us to achieve a quality that is never sufficient, but growing.
