The wine region of Irpinia
Province of Avellino in Campania, land of three Southern DOCGs (Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo) on volcanic high-altitude vineyards. Aglianico reigns in red ('Barolo of the South') with signature notes of black cherry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, faded violet, spices and a mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing. Opulent Fiano white (honey, hazelnut, yellow fruits), taut and mineral Greco di Tufo (pear, citrus, smoke). Noble, gastronomic southern wines.
The wine region of Campania
Cradle of southern Italy's great wines on volcanic soils. Majestic Aglianico in red: structured, deep and tannic with notes of black cherry, candied plum, leather and spices, sublimated in age-worthy Taurasi DOCG, the "Barolo of the south". Identity whites of Irpinia: opulent Fiano di Avellino (honey, hazelnut), mineral iodine Greco di Tufo, aromatic Falanghina (peach, flowers). Also supple Piedirosso.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
