Campania
Campania is one of the cradles of Italian viticulture, with grape varieties the Romans already grew. Taurasi (the 'Barolo of the South') is one of Italy's great reds, made from Aglianico, while Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo are whites of extraordinary minerality and complexity.
Greco-Roman roots and DOCGs that rival northern Italy, such as Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo.
