Born in Monção in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region, Anselmo Mendes fell in love with the Alvarinho grape at an early age and began making his first wines from the variety in 1988. Over the years he has consulted for many of Portugal’s top wineries and he also makes his own wines in Minho close to the border with Spain. Anselmo uses his decades of experience of working with Alvarinho to create a range of styles from crisp, light-bodied expressions to richer wines which are fermented and aged in oak barrels. A very versatile wine, it can be paired with stronger meat dishes or more complex fish, as well as shellfish and crustaceans. In the company of almond crusted cod on a bed of mashed potatoes or lamb chops with rosemary, Parcela Única wine in perfect harmony enhances fantastic flavors. Should be served between 11-13ºC.

The native roots of the rare and unique grapes found in this ancient yet active volcano and the passion of local talent Andrea Cozzolino that was eager to breathe new life into one of Campania’s most historic wine regions would make Dionysus, god of the wine proud. Here on the slopes of Monte Summa Close to the ''Olivella'' Spring (where the winery takes its name), is the oldest part of Vesuvio (the volcano that destroyed Pompeii and continues to rumble, shaking the nerves of the Napolitani) grape growing is an ancient art, the lava-rich, sandy slopes of the volcano providing perfect terroir for native grapes such as Catalanesca and Piedirosso. In 1974, an ancient fragment of an earthenware wine jug was discovered. This is proof of the wealth of an area whose wines were some of the finest of ancient Rome on the market with Pompeii. An abbreviated inscription of “Sextus Catius Festus” is engraved on the opening of the earthenware jar along with a seal depicting a stylized leaf, similar to a heart. The seal tellingly became the logo for “Cantine Olivella”, and was modified into a wine glass. This is the perfect representation of the union between land, art and passion, namely three hearts beating in unison in the world of Cantine Olivella. Great served chilled as an appetiser or with fresh fish, shellfish; creamy fish soup or risotto
