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: pH
Short for "hydrogen potential", the pH is a parameter that defines whether a medium is acidic or basic. A high pH gives a soft wine, a very low pH translates into a wine that is too acidic.
