Region

The Campania wine region is a geographically complex area south of Rome, leading inland from the Amalfi Coast and the Bay of Naples towards Mount Vesuvius then beyond, rising to a plateau upon which the Irpinia sub-region is located at around 600m above sea level.Campania accounts for just 3.3% of Italy’s vineyards, with 29,000ha of vines planted, yet the region has an extraordinary history of winemaking. Ancient Greek settlers bought vines to Italy when they began populating the south of the country in the 8th century BC. The Romans later embraced this vinous culture, and it was Falernian – from Campania’s modern-day Falerno del Massico DOC – that was their most prized wine.

Varietal


TAglianico is a red wine grape variety native to southern Italy. It is known to produce full-bodied red wines that show musky berry flavors with firm tannins and good aging potential. Even when grown in hot climates, Aglianico is capable of retaining high levels of acidity, which makes it a particularly useful vine in the Mediterranean. Despite its comparatively high acidity, the variety is late-ripening and vigorous, with a tendancy to produce high volumes of fruit if not checked by viticultural practices.
