Campania: the beating heart of wine in Southern Italy
In the magnificent setting of Southern Italy, Campania stands as a true oenological gem, combining tradition and innovation in a riot of flavors and aromas that tell ancient stories. This region, with a winemaking history dating back to ancient Roman times, is famous for its extraordinary variety of wines ranging from fragrant whites to full-bodied reds, not to mention lively sparkling wines.
Campania is a sun-kissed land, with a Mediterranean climate that favors high-quality viticulture. Its hills, mineral-rich volcanic soils, and proximity to the sea create an ideal habitat for the cultivation of unique native grape varieties, which give life to wines of great personality.
Among the undisputed protagonists of this region is Fiano di Avellino, an elegant and aromatic white, characterized by notes of white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruit, and almond. Produced with Fiano grapes, this wine stands out for its freshness and aging capacity, which gives it complexity and depth over the years.
Another flagship is Greco di Tufo, a white wine of great structure and intensity, which impresses with its aromas of citrus, aromatic herbs, and a mineral finish reminiscent of the volcanic soil from which it comes. The Greco grapes, centuries old, find their maximum expression in this area, giving rise to a wine of rare elegance.
We cannot forget Taurasi, the king of Campanian reds, often compared to Barolo for its structure and longevity. Produced with Aglianico grapes, this red wine is powerful and deep, with aromas of berries, spices, tobacco, and a leather note that develops with aging. Taurasi is a wine that can offer unique emotions, especially when paired with rich meat dishes and aged cheeses.
Campania is also the homeland of Lacryma Christi, a wine that carries the charm and mystery of legend. Available in both white and red versions, Lacryma Christi is a versatile and pleasant wine, produced with Piedirosso and Coda di Volpe grapes, enchanting with its fruity bouquet and soft, enveloping taste.
