Cantine Apicella - The Apicella family has been cultivating the land for generations and until the early 1970s produced excellent table wine. Then Giuseppe decides to create his own label and to bottle the wine he produces. The first vintage to be marketed is that of 1977, around 3000 bottles of Tramonti red wine, which kick off the Giuseppe Apicella winery and thirty years of success.
Apicella is the historic brand of viticulture on the Amalfi Coast. The first to bottle wine in Tramonti, a true agricultural lung and safeguard of the biodiversity of the area, he has always balanced his production with a traditional style.
The tasting begins at 11.30 with a visit to the historic A’ Scippata prephylloxera family vineyard, a pergola 5 minutes away on foot from the cellar. Afterwards we continue with a visit to the cellar with an explanation of the production process, fermentation of red and white wines, stabilization and ageing. Tasting of the wines in production accompanied by a lunch based on typical Tramontini products.

Generations of the Apicella family have dedicated themselves to the cultivation of their land, producing superior table wine up until the early 1970s. The first vintage introduced to the market was the 1977 one, of approximately 3000 bottles of Tramonti red wine, marking the inauguration of the Giuseppe Apicella winery and three decades of prosperity. Apicella stands as the historic symbol of viticulture on the Amalfi Coast. As the first to bottle the wine in Tramonti, a vital agricultural hub and protector of local biodiversity, Apicella has consistently maintained a balanced production, imbued with a traditional, non-exaggerated style. Wine tasting commences with a tour of the historic A’ Scippata family vineyard, a pre-phylloxera pergola situated a 5 minute walk from the cellar. The tour then progresses to the cellar for a breakdown of the manufacturing process, the fermentation of both red and white wines, their stabilization and maturation periods. The tasting session includes the sampling of current wines, accompanied by typical Tramontini fare (cheeses, salami, toasted bread).
