Flavours and Aromas

The soil dedicated to the grapes frames the Villa, starting from the parking lot, reaching the woods and going down the large valley towards the sea. The Vineyard is the beating heart of the entire premises, cultivated parsimoniously and with love following ICEA certified organic methods. It is the father of “Il Puro” wine, a true delicacy for Bacchus and a real innovation for the wine industry.

The organic crops of Villa Lupara’s Agritourism can already be noticed from the parking lot. In fact, we are greeted by an olive tree over one thousand years old, and in the background of the Gulf of Salerno, citrus trees typical of the Amalfi area. Upon strolling under vines, discovering blueberries, figs and lots of bay leaves, we reach the Villa’s agora where the seasonal vegetables hide between olive trees and fresh herbs, sporadically emerging among flowers and hedges. In the actual vegetable garden we are able to find traditional agricultural crops such as San Marzano and Corbarino tomato plants. In the fruit orchards, in addition to the typical Amalfi citrus, we find apricots, cherries, black cherries, wild prunes, strawberries and walnuts with which the workshops are organized. In a pristine and pure place, where it feels like being light years away from the world we are used to living in, well-being and the natural beauty of things become the two cardinal rules. This is why organic farming is one of the fundamentals of the Villa, which offers a light, traditional and high quality cuisine, mainly using 0 carbon foot-print and/or organic products.
