Sclavia
Sclavia works with Pallagrello varieties in Campania, the southern Italian region known for volcanic soils and indigenous grapes. The winery's portfolio centers on two native cultivars: Pallagrello Nero, a dark-skinned variety that yields structured reds, and Pallagrello Bianco, its white counterpart. Lucia A Monticelli, a Pallagrello Nero expression, and Calu', made from Pallagrello Bianco, represent the core of the range. Montecardillo, another Pallagrello Nero wine, rounds out the lineup. Both Decanter and Wine Advocate have assessed these releases, reflecting the winery's engagement with established critical channels. The focus on Pallagrello grapes—varieties with deep roots in Campania's winemaking tradition—positions Sclavia within the region's movement toward recovery and expression of its own terroir.
