04012022 Feudi San Gregorio president Antonio Capaldo believes supporting the Irpinia region's smaller producers is key to Fiano's success. From the grape’s home turf in Campania’s Irpinia hills around Avellino, I had tasted lush Fianos, crisp Fianos, sweet late-harvest Fianos and lively sparkling Fianos. The celebration of Fiano has been discreet: the Fiano Love Fest in the prime terroir of Lapio and the Fiano Music Festival nearby. Getting Down with Fiano | Wine Spectator
04022022 An ambitious project was born for the rediscovery and enhancement of Asprinio, a native vine of Aversano with a unique story, which is intertwined with that of Anjou but also with that of champagne and Greco di Tufo. With its cellar, – in homage to the Norman count Rainulf Drengot, who founded Aversa in 1030 – today Alberto Verde produces three excellent wines, based on Asprinio from the family’s over one hundred year old vineyards.

04082022 Vines grow in a spectacular landscape of hills and mountains. The most important among an assortment of largely indigenous white grape varieties are undeniably Fiano and Greco: these reach their apogee in the DOCGs of Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo, both recognised in 2003.

04122022 Volcanic soils seem to help impart a distinctive character to wine, both red and white, not found in other places. Water drains through volcanic soil easily; the soil also isn't usually very fertile and is high in mineral content. Of course, not all volcanic soils are found on active volcanoes. And, of course, there's Campania in Italy, where you can even visit Pompeii and try the wines in situ if you like. What Makes Volcanic Wines So Distinctive | Food & Wine

04162022 Both immediately drinkable and impressively ageable; two of Italy’s finest white wine denominations.

04172022 Vesuvius’ soils drain well and quickly, Maria Paola Sorrentino explained, causing the grape vine’s root system to go very deep to find moisture. This gives the vines of the Vesuvio DOC a stable supply of water over the hot Southern Italian summers.
