About the Wines of Campania
Campania is the land of the red wine "Aglianico " a big red powerful and with its own personality when young, ideal to accompany barbecued lamb and sausages , and, gentle and elegant ,when properly aged, see the Taursai (from Aglianico grapes), the only D.O.C. wine of the southern Italy.
The Piedirosso (Red Foot), from the red color of the stem, the second important red of the region, Smooth, fruity and elegant light red wine, this is the basic grape in the blend to obtain the Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio ,"Tears of Christ" is the translation.
And last the old Romans wine "Falerno" from primitivo grapes; the wine of the Roman Emperors. We can say the first wine of the modern era that received the unique distinction of D.O.C.
