THE TERRITORY

Irpinia is a region of Southern Italy characterised by valleys, heights, rivers and streams, whose regional capital is Avellino.

Less than 50 kilometres from Naples, thanks to the conformation of its territory, Irpinia is a land devoted to the production of fine wines.

Divided into two halves by the Apennine mountains, it rises to a height between 300 and 1,800 meters above sea level. This makes it possible to have well-drained soils, with a good water reserve, and significant temperature fluctuations, hot during the day and cool during the night. In particular, the Tyrrhenian side, which is the most suitable for viticulture, is mountainous and discontinuous, rich in vegetation and water, with a high average precipitation rate.

The peculiar orography of the territory results in particular microclimates, varying from area to area, which allow different types of wines to be produced. Its clay-limestone soils benefit from the effusive activity of the three surrounding volcanic areas: Vulture, Vesuvius, and Caserta mountains.

Over the centuries the accumulation of different layers of ash and lapilli has given rise to tuffaceous deposits, enrichment in minerals and to the presence of looser soil layers, resulting in another unique peculiarity for a quality viticulture. In fact, Irpinia, today, is the province in Campania with the highest concentration of vineyards and can boast the presence of three DOCG wines: Taurasi, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino.

Wine lovers know that in Irpinia they can find high-quality wines with particularly fine varietal aromas and flavours, vinified using modern winemaking techniques that draw on the long tradition of Irpinia winemaking.
