CAMPANIA

The red wines of Campania tell a story that dates back to ancient Greek times. As a wine expert, I'm constantly amazed by the depth and complexity of these wines. Aglianico, often dubbed the "Barolo of the South," stands as the cornerstone of this viticultural treasure trove.

The volcanic soils surrounding Mount Vesuvius and the Taurasi DOCG area give birth to wines of remarkable structure. Taurasi, which must age for a minimum of three years, reveals intense aromas of black cherries, plums, and spicy notes, supported by a distinctive tannic backbone that promises excellent ageing potential.

Let's not overlook Piedirosso, an indigenous grape variety that produces velvety wines with notes of red fruits and mineral nuances. In the higher elevations of Taburno, Aglianico wines develop a particular elegance and freshness that sets them apart from their lowland counterparts.

The new generation of Campanian winemakers combines traditional viticulture techniques with modern cellar technology. The result? Red wines that possess both power and finesse - perfect for special occasions or to accompany the rich cuisine of southern Italy. These wines show incredible versatility at the table, pairing beautifully with everything from aged cheeses to robust meat dishes.
