Campanica | Monitoring Italy's Campania region around Naples

CAMPANIA, LIKE IS NEIGHBORS, IS MAKING GREAT WINES Its Irpinia region alone, nestled in the cool Apennine foothills, is home to three excellent wines (the whites Greco and Fiano, and the red, ageworthy Aglianico). Thanks to technology and changing climate, perhaps, today’s featured Mastroberardino Aglianico Irpinia is a juicy, fruity, cherry-berry treat. It’s no “fruit bomb,” though, but something more balanced and complex, full of flavor but not over-oaked, and with alcohol held to a rational 13%. Campania earns our respect | Wineloverspage
