$7.00
In English and Italian When I decided to become a sommelier back in 2009, I felt that the best way to learn about wine and winemaking was to visit as many vineyards as I could. The first area that I focused on was a territory in Campania known as Irpinia. It is located in the northeast portion of the Avellino province. I remember spending my Saturdays visiting wineries, wine tasting, and walking the vineyards. I learned so much! Not just about wine, but the culture that surrounds it. I fell in love and I think if you get a chance to visit some of the wineries listed here, you will fall in love as well. In this corner of Campania there is practically everything when it comes to territory; hills, mountains, lakes, rivers, clayey soil, volcanic soil. I could go on. Red grape varieties include aglianico and piedirosso. White grape varieties include greco, fiano, coda di volpe, and greco musc’. Irpinia is home to 3 DOP wines – Taurasi (made with aglianico), Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo. *In Italy, when you see a wine label the says DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta – Protected Designation of Origin)- it is a guarantee that the wine was produced in a certain area under certain strict conditions. (It is NOT an indication of the quality of the wine) That being said, wineries have their vineyards spread throughout the area-often far from the winery itself. My guide is perfect for wine enthusiasts – those who are looking for an adventure in a glass. My guide includes - 🛣️maps - 💻links to the wineries - ⌚days/hours of operations -🤙 my recommendations and suggestions for itineraries - 🎤audio links This is a living breathing guide; meaning that it will be updated often. Need suggestions for a 1, 2, or 3 day itinerary. Feel free to contact me. Quando ho deciso di diventare sommelier nel 2009, ho sentito che il modo migliore per conoscere il vino e la vinificazione era visitare quanti più vigneti possibile. La prima area su cui mi sono concentrata è stato un territorio della Campania noto come Irpinia. Si trova nella parte nord-est della provincia di Avellino. Ricordo di aver trascorso i miei sabati visitando cantine, degustando vini e camminando tra i vigneti. Ho imparato così tanto! Non solo di vino, ma della cultura che lo circonda. Mi sono innamorataa e penso che se hai la possibilità di visitare alcune delle cantine elencate qui, ti innamorerai anche tu. In questo angolo di Campania c'è praticamente di tutto quando si parla di territorio; colline, montagne, laghi, fiumi, terreno argilloso, terreno vulcanico. Potrei continuare. I vitigni a bacca rossa includono aglianico e piedirosso. I vitigni a bacca bianca includono greco, fiano, coda di volpe e greco musc'. L'Irpinia ospita 3 vini DOP: Taurasi (prodotto con aglianico), Fiano di Avellino e Greco di Tufo. * In Italia, quando vedi un'etichetta di vino con la scritta DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) - è una garanzia che il vino è stato prodotto in una certa zona a determinate condizioni rigorose. (NON è un'indicazione della qualità del vino) Detto questo, le cantine hanno i loro vigneti sparsi in tutta l'area, spesso lontano dalla cantina stessa. La mia guida è perfetta per gli appassionati di vino - coloro che sono alla ricerca di un'avventura in un bicchiere. La mia guida include - 🛣️mappe - 💻link alle cantine - ⌚giorni/ore di funzionamento - 🤙 i miei consigli e suggerimenti per itinerari - 🎤audio guide Questa è una guida vivente alla respirazione; il che significa che verrà aggiornato spesso. Hai bisogno di suggerimenti per un itinerario di 1, 2 o 3 giorni. Non esitate a contattarmi.

Ok, so you want to visit Campania, Italy but are curious what is out here besides the big stops like the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento? Ciao, My name is Karen Phillips and I've been blogging/vlogging about the Campania region for nearly 15 years, with a focus on food and wine. I live near Naples, so you can be sure that my recommendations are based on first hand experiences. In other words, I like to walk the walk before I talk the talk. So if you are looking for tips on where to eat, wineries to visit, museums or other cultural spots throughout the region, you have come to the right place. I am so excited to share my info about this region with you. Whether it be Naples for street food and art/museums- or maybe you'd like to visit some of the best wineries in Italy- or your curious about the islands of Ischia, Capri or Procida. What about pizza? Let me work up something that will make your visit to this region that I have called home for 30 years something really special. Ciao!
