Casa di Baal

"We have been making wines for our own consumption, and for our friends, for generations. In 2005, however, after having given away our grapes for many years to local wineries, our parents Annibale and Anna decided to create Casa di Baal. The azienda today is an ideal merger of secular tradition and young vitality formed between Annibale and Anna and their children. The name itself, Casa di Baal (the House of Annibale) is an homage to our father; it’s not only a symbol of attachment to our roots, but also a sign that represents strong inclination to innovation and resilience. The symbol of the azienda is an elephant that symbolises the deeds of Hannibal, the skilful general from Carthage. We live a lifestyle based on self-sufficiency, where everything we consume is produced in our farm. We embrace principles of sustainability, and organic closed-cycle farming has always been our objective."

Campania

The ancient heritage of its vineyards and a great respect for tradition hold the key to Campania’s success in the world of wine. Instead of seeking out international markets by planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, Campania’s winemakers have stayed true to their proud heritage of indigenous grapes that best reflect Campania’s terroir.

Campania’s wines were first enjoyed by the Romans whose proud tradition of producing Falernian from Aglianico grapes around Naples was reflected in other parts of the region.

They also produced a white wine that is thought to be related to the modern Falanghina. Wines made around Vesuvius and Avellino were similarly revered. Sometimes known as "The Barolo of the South", Taurasi and other exceptional reds from Falerno del Massico reflect the sheer potential of the grape. About 75% of Campania’s production is now DOCG, DOC and IGT wines.
