Campania

**Campania** — a region in southern Italy centred on Naples and the Amalfi coast, with a winemaking heritage stretching back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Its strength lies in distinctive native grapes. **Wines & grapes** — The great red is Aglianico, which reaches its peak in Taurasi — a deep, structured, tannic and long-lived wine sometimes called the Barolo of the south. Among whites, Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and the softer Falanghina all make characterful, mineral wines. **Character** — Volcanic soils around Mount Vesuvius and inland hills, plus varied altitudes, give the wines freshness, minerality and firm structure despite the warm southern climate. **Good to know** — Campania is one of Italy's finest homes for indigenous varieties, and its top wines age remarkably well for the region's latitude.
