Cantine Olivella is located in Sant’Anastasia, a small village nearby Naples at the foothill of the Vesuvio.  The winery took its name from an ancient source of water “Olivella Spring” near which, in 1974, archeologists discovered a fragment of a Roman wine jar with engraved the name of an ancient wine maker “Sex Cati Festi” which became the symbol of Olivella’s bottles.

Cantine Olivella was one of the first winery to register as producer of “Catalanesca” a grape variety originally from Catalonia, Spain, which finds in the volcanic soil a perfect environment for a perfect maturation.

The name Kata’ has multiple meanings: it is the abbreviation of the Catalanesca grape, but it is also a Greek word translated as “under” (the Mount Vesuvio) and a Japanese word that means “model” (as in model of virtues and characteristics of the grape)
