An Irpinian passion

In 1999 Benito Petrillo, an expert in publishing, but also an attentive connoisseur of the territories of Irpinia, driven by an act of love for his three granddaughters, decided to buy about 2 hectares of land, of volcanic origin. For this project he chose sulfur-rich soils, close to a hillside always kissed by the sun and located in Prata Principato Ultra, whose biological and cultural richness is priceless.

Nomen Omen

The Calafè project conceived by Benito Petrillo is designed to preserve and transmit the great priceless heritage of this terroir to future generations. That is why Calafè bears in its name the greatest act of love a grandfather can make towards his granddaughters.

Calafè is the syllabic acronym for the names of Benito Petrillo's granddaughters: Camilla, Laura and Federica, who carry in their DNA this precious cargo of passion and faith in the future and in the beneficial force of an infinitely valuable territory called Irpinia.
