Luigi Maffini

Luigi Maffini's vineyards are on the coast of Campania, south of Naples, across the bay from Positano, and planted with the local grapes, Fiano for the whites and Aglianico for the reds. While the family's first vines were planted in the seventies, the real beginning of this winery dates from 1996.

Luigi and his wife Raffaella are both graduates of Naples university in agricultural sciences. Luigi specialised in viticulture and winemaking. Ten years elapsed between our first tasting of his wines and getting Luigi 'on board', but he has now been with L&S since 2009.

Raffaella and Luigi run the vineyards organically, and share the land with their two children and three dogs, as well as hares, foxes, hedgehogs, hawks and wild boar, with which they are happy to live in peace. There are now two vineyard sites, at Castellabate and Giungano, so some of the wines are DOC Cilento and some DOC Paestum.

Regional Italian | Mixed 12

The Great Italian Escape: The Native Grape Masterclass Italy boasts hundreds of indigenous grape varieties, yet the global market tends to focus on just a handful of famous names.
While we love a benchmark Barolo or a classic Chianti as much as anyone, we find that some of the magic of Italian wine can lie slightly off the beaten path.
We have spent a great deal of time travelling across the country, seeking out the families quietly championing these ancient, local varieties. This 12-bottle case (featuring two of each wine) acts as a thrilling tasting tour from the hills north of venice right down to the volcanic south.
Whether you are a dedicated terroir explorer or simply looking for the ultimate toolkit for a run of joyful evenings, this collection captures the effortless, generous spirit of the Italian dinner table.
What's Inside the Mixed Case:
2x 2024 FEUDO Chiaretto, La Feliciana (Lombardy): A wonderfully pale, dry pink from the shores of Lake Garda. An immediate hit of sweet cherry and firm strawberry, offering serious competition to Provence.
2x 2024 PINOT GRIGIO 'Ramato', Visintini (Friuli): A grown-up, skin-contact Pinot Grigio with a delicate pink/copper hue. Elegant and complex with notes of spiced pear, nectarine, and juicy fresh lift of citrus pep.
2x 2024 KRATOS Fiano, Luigi Maffini (Campania): An elegant, mineral-driven white from the Campanian coast. Restrained aromas of lemon peel and ferns give way to a polished, high-energy finish.
2x 2024 MOFETE Etna Bianco, Palmento Costanzo (Sicily): A racy, tense blend of Carricante and Catarratto grown on the high volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Tangy, saline, and loaded with white peach.
2x 2023 SANGIOVESE Girapoggio, Bissoni (Emilia Romagna): A pristine, organic Sangiovese from a small, hand-tended farm. Unencumbered by oak, it is sleek, pure, and incredibly juicy with cherry and mocha notes.
2x 2022 SUSUMANIELLO Artiglio, Cantine de Falco (Puglia): From 20-30 year old vines in the heart of Salento. An earthy, wildly fun red with notes of chocolate, plum flesh, and a wonderfully fragrant spice.
