Irpinia

Irpinia wine hails from the heart of Italy’s Campania region, a place steeped in history and a lasting legacy of viticulture. Nestled amongst Campania's rolling hills and fertile landscapes, the Irpinia region is home to three of Italy's most prestigious DOCG wines – Taurasi, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino.

Renowned across the globe, Irpinia wines are emblematic of this province's rich tradition of wine cultivation nurtured across millennia. The volcanic soils, coupled with a unique microclimate, provide the ideal conditions for grapevines to flourish, giving birth to wines with distinct characteristics.

Taurasi, a luscious red made from the Aglianico grape, is the jewel in Irpinia’s crown, often compared to the great Barolos or Brunellos for its full-bodied profile and remarkable ageing potential. Aged a minimum of three years before release, it's a wine brimming with sumptuous notes of plum, cherry, and spice, underscored by an elegant tannic structure.

Equally compelling are the white wines of the region. Greco di Tufo, crisp and mineral-laden, boasts an appealing balance of zingy citrus, stone fruit and almond notes. Whereas, Fiano di Avellino, is subtly complex, with traces of pear, honey, and hazelnut accompanying its notable acidity.

The wines of Irpinia, however, are more than mere beverages. They are the regional pride, a source of community identity and a tribute to the staunchly traditional approach of the Campanian winemakers, who jealously guard their heritage while ceaselessly questing for quality.

Irpinia has an undeniable allure for any wine enthusiast. The region’s singular expressions of terroir, the stunning diversity of its wines, and its unspoilt landscapes make it a place of pilgrimage for those devoted to the vine.

In the glass, each Irpinia wine tells a story of the land, history, and people from which it originated. They are an invitation to immerse oneself in the timeless tradition of Italian winemaking and to partake in the unique flavours and aromas that this remarkable land has to offer.
