Campania

Home to some of the ancient world's most prestigious wines, Campania in the south of Italy has always maintained its traditions. Today, this mountainous region is best known for its surprisingly crisp white wines made from local grapes such as the floral, honeyed Fiano, and herbal, citrussy Greco. Hot daytime temperatures are tempered by breezes from the Mediterranean Sea and the Apennine Mountains, keeping wines fresh and crisp. As well as its elegant whites, Campania is also known for its deep red wines. The most famous are those made from the Aglianico grape, with rich black fruit flavors complemented by oaky spice.
