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.
