Campania The ancient Romans considered Campania Felix to be the ne plus ultra of wine regions. They favored the vineyards along the coast north of Naples where Falernum, the most treasured wine of the empire, was grown. They also lauded the wines of Vesuvius and the hills of Avellino. Taurasi, from Aglianico, has been called "the Barolo of the south" due to its size and ability to age, though its style is proudly its own. Fianco and Greco are among Italy's most distinguished whites. Credit for their status is due largely to the Mastroberardino winery which has carried these historically significant wines. |
