GET READY FOR A CARB-DRIVEN JOURNEY THROUGH RURAL CAMPANIA, AND BEYOND Our new favorite Italian finger food is frittata di scammaro, a crunchy, garlicky fried spaghetti dish from Naples.

WORKING WITH OLD PIEDIROSSO VINES PLANTED ON THEIR OWN ROOTS Also known as Per e Palummo, Piedirosso is grown throughout Campania, including on Ischia island.

Some of my favorite Piedirossos from the zone are a pair of intense riservas by Cantine del Mare. All vineyards - the most dramatic of which are just above the Mediterranean coast in volcanic pebbles and sand - are planted ungrafted, or without phylloxera-resistant rootstock. Naples’ Volcanic Wines | Wine Spectator
