The wine region of Pompeiano
Campanian IGT at the foot of Vesuvius and around Pompeii, volcanic soils (lapilli, ash, pumice) from eruptions, southeast-facing exposures, 230–500 m. Piedirosso is the signature native red (100% in Rosso): supple and fresh with red cherry, raspberry, Mediterranean herbs, pepper and a volcanic saline touch, soft tannins. Caprettone (100% in Bianco) and saline Falanghina in whites. Heritage linking to Pompeian frescoes (5th century BC).
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: Metis (grape variety)
A grape variety resulting from the crossing of two varieties of the same species. For example, pinotage (a South African grape variety) is the result of crossing pinot noir and cinsault.
