We strongly believe that no other region in Italy shows so many variety of grapes and so different wines as Campania region. This tour is really a “must” for any wine lover. The land is enchanting in itself, and the wines flavour is unforgettable.

First of all, Campania region is the “kingdom” of a very special red wine : the "Aglianico " a strong sincere red grape, with a strong structure . It is the right wine to match dishes as barbecue, grilled lamb and sausages . An older production of Aglianico may be fruit flavoured thanks to the “tannic acid” withdrawn from the barrels.

Another great wine is the Taurasi (from Aglianico grapes). Going on with the “hit-list” we need to mention the “Piedirosso”. It is a smooth, fruit-flavoured and elegant red wine. This is the basic grape in the blend to produce a further “great” red : the Lacryma Christi of Vesuvio. Last but not least we wish to mention the “Falerno” wine, a grape coming from Roman age also known as the “Emperors wine”. In Campania, the guest loving wine and his culture, may also enjoy four excellent “white grapes” "Fiano di Avellino", "Greco di Tufo" , "Falanghina" and "Coda di Volpe" .

The present tour n° 6 and the following tour n° 7 have been dedicated to those outstanding Campanian wines.

Departure Bracciano: 08:00 AM (duration: approx. 10 hours)

• Transfer to Avellino (Taurasi area) Vineyards and guided tour to a Taurasi factory;

DWith its abundance of vineyards, Ischia island is proved to be one of the Mediterranean largest grape suppliers. According to historical sources, the island's own name is related to winemaking: infact the Latins called it “Oenaria”, which is a derived name from the Greek word oinaria meaning 'the land of vineyards and wines'. Apart that historical details, it is a matter of fact that winemaking goes back to thousand years ago. Greeks from Euboea had been producing wine in Ischia since the 8th century B. C. The old Greeks heritage is mirrored in the way grapes are nowadays being cultivated and selected. Those Greek peoples would have never thought their winemaking methods would survive over thousand years and achieve immortality.

Wines of Ischia island: Biancolella, Forastera, Piedirosso, Euphosia, Per ‘e Palummo.
