WINES BEYOND AVELLINO AND THE NOTED IRPINIA REGION Campania with its volcanic soils deposited by Mount Vesuvius, offers white varieties that produce some of the more exciting wines on the southern Italian landscape. Among them is Fiano, the grape of the celebrated Fiano di Avellino denomination, named after the city and province of Avellino. Other notable white varieties: Greco di Tufo denomination, Tufo refers to tuffa, the chalky, compressed volcanic soil that gives the wine its minerality; Falanghina may be slightly less complex but produces refreshing wines for everyday drinking. 9 of the Best White Wines from Italy’s Campania | VinePair

THE CHALLENGE OF RAISING THE VALUE OF IRPINIA DOCG The Consortium will launch a consultation on the application of Article 39 of Law 238 of 2016 to manage production volumes of grapes and wines such as Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Taurasi, and Irpinia DOC, and also allows the activation of harvest reserves, storage, or yield cuts to protect prices and market balance. But above all, the goal is to 'increase the value of our denominations on the national and international market,' convinced as she is that the real problem is not the price of grapes or unsold grapes, but bottles that remain in the cellars for too long.

L'AGLIANICA CICLOSTORICA EVENT, PEDALING ALONG THE MOUNTAINS OF IRPINIA Aglianico “alli-yawn-nico” is a full-bodied red wine. The most critically rated Aglianico wines come from the region of Taurasi. Most collectors of this wine will agree that Taurasi tends to deliver the most floral expression of the wine with brooding aromas of rose and sour cherries. This wine is also likely the least approachable upon release with most needing at least an 8 year cool down period to account for ripping high acidity and grippy tannins.

HYPERPINIAN AND HIS BIG BROTHERS Taurasi DOCG, located in southern Italy’s Campania region, produces complex, age-worthy wines, most famously from Aglianico, a local red grape. “The origin of vineyards in the Taurasi area dates back to the Etruscan period, where the vines were grown at heights with different shapes”. These ancient techniques, colloquially called ‘starseta’ or ‘raggiera’, intersperse vines among cover crops, grains, olive groves, nut trees, and fruit orchards.

THE OLD REGION OF IRPINIA (WHOSE SYMBOL IS THE GREY WOLF) Striking landscapes encompassing wooded hillsides, winding rivers, majestic mountains and a cool breeze that contrasts greatly with the warm coastal areas. This is Irpinia. Aglianico is a hard grape to grow: it’s late ripening, its thin skin is prone to mildew and it can be challenging to harvest this grape with several vineyard passages required in order to pick healthy grapes. It’s a difficult variety to manage in terms of winemaking too: when young, it tends to be tannic, acidic, rather harsh and sometimes rustic.

UNCONVENTIONAL AGLIANICO Many winemakers in Irpinia acknowledge significant differences in microclimate among the villages that make up the appellation. While Taurasi itself is known for wines that are more elegant and immediately expressive, hamlets such as Castelfranci, Montemarano, and Paternopoli yield more structured and austere examples, requiring longer cellaring before revealing their true complexity. Ilaria Petitto of Donnachiara notes that, “we try and produce Taurasi with elegance and restraint, but this territory can give very powerful, almost wild wines.” Masters Of Aglianico: Faces Of Southern Italy’s Most Important Red Wine Grape | Forbes

UNDER THE HIRPINIAN MOON The winds from the land, the Mistral and the Tramontana alternate with those from the sea, the Libeccio, the Ostro and the Scirocco. The result is a unique Irpinia microclimate of its kind. The characteristics of the soil influence the qualities of the grapes which, in turn, will determine the characteristics of the wines. About 3,800 years ago the westernmost area of Irpinia was affected by what is called the Pumice of Avellino Eruption. Irpinia: Land of wolves | Traerte
