Campanica | Monitoring Italy's Campania region around Naples

FIANO DI AVELLINO WHITE GRAPE "I showcased the wines of Irpinia in the region of Campania, with wines provided by the Consorzio di tutela dei vini d’Irpinia." Fiano, writes Ian d’Agata in his monumental Native Wine Grapes of Italy (2014),“may well be Italy’s greatest white wine grape,” and, after my tastings of the Irpinian wines, I wholeheartedly agree. Among the DOCG Fianos I loved was Empatia, a single vineyard cru from one of the area’s most prestigious largest estates, Donnachiara in Montefalcione at about 600 meters above the sea level.
