More information on of Campanie flavors
Campania is a region that forms the "tibia" of the boot of Italy, and whose largest city is Naples. Its name comes from Campania felix, a Latin phrase meaning roughly "happy land". The region has strong historical links with wine and vineyards, dating back to the 12th century BC, and is one of the oldest wine regions in Italy. The considerable influence of ancient empires, including the Greeks, Romans and Byzantines, means that some of the varieties in this region are linked to historical legends.
The region is also famous for the production of Falerno (Falernum), one of the oldest wines in Italy. Although rooted in tradition, today's wines can be Fruity, Young, robust or well-structured.

Andrew Jefford: ‘Arresting and generous, but without vulgarity or excess’
Layers of colour in the sky before me: indigo, peach, salmon. In the rear-view mirror, the gold was catching fire. As I drove down through the lonely, Mistral-chilled vines of Babeau-Bouldoux towards nearby St-Chinian, I was thinking about what Christine Deleuze of Clos Bagatelle had just said. ‘When you came to visit 10 years ago,’ she reminded me, ‘you said we needed to wait another decade for a market breakthrough. Today you’ve said we need to wait another decade or two. So when, exactly, wil ...
