At the start of the ‘Vendemmia’ we had a tour along the vineyards, inside the winery as well as a tasting of some of the wines during lunch. We enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Pepe family as well as the professional explanation at all stages by Giuseppe. The predicted weather was horrible. But as we've learned back in the Netherlands never trust predictions and adapt. So we had sunshine when we were outside whilst the predicted showers came down during lunch. Thanks again for the lovely experience. we are looking forward to taste the wine aged in terracotta vases.

Back in 1647, Scipione di Marzo, founder of the estate, left San Paolo Belsito to escape the plague that was raging his hometown and found shelter in Tufo. It is said that he brought with him the vines of a variety then called Greco di Nola. After planting it in this new soil, he became the creator of the Greco di Tufo. Since then, the estate has used its own nursery to produce its vines, thus keeping the genetic inheritance practically unchanged since its origins. The di Marzo estate has managed to preserve its historical tradition while usign the latest technology. This approach results in a unique quality wines.

Chiara coordinated our family’s Sunday afternoon visit. After a quick tour of the vineyard, we settled at a table for wine tasting and a lunch made by mamma. Both the wine and lunch were amazing and we truly enjoyed talking with Chiara and mamma while we ate. We bought a few cases of taurasi and fiano. It’s less than 1 1/2 hr from Naples and worth the visit to this small family vineyard.

My wife and I recently visited the beautiful Shrine of St Gerard Majella as part of our short but fruitful pilgrimage to Rome. We rented a car for the drive from downtown Rome and the entire journey took at least 4-5 hours. This was a very scenic drive that took us through rural countryside, charming small towns and picturesque landscapes - thank goodness for GPS! Arriving at the small town of Materdomini, we were immediately greeted by the unmistakable roof of the newer Basilica. There’s a large car park adjacent to the Basilica and we had no issues finding parking on the quiet August Friday that we were there. The Basilica and surrounding compound is large - from the newer but majestic wing with its winged roof structure and stained glass to the old Church where St Gerard’s remains lie, there is a sense of peace and tranquility that provided a serene and contemplative atmosphere. We took our time to explore the different parts of the compound - from the chapel where St Gerard’s body lies, to the little museum with numerous paintings and objects that provided an insight to this powerful Redemptorist saint’s life, to the beautiful and poignant Room of Bows, where countless parents and children have offered photographs and baby paraphernalia of their successful conception and birth of their children, through the intercession and help of St Gerard Majella. We spent close to 2 hours at the shrine and would have loved to spend a lot more. I thoroughly recommend making a visit to Materdomini, if your schedule permits - it’s closer to Naples than Rome - to soak in the atmosphere and to see the life and impact of this great saint.
