In the heart of Campania region there is an area called Irpinia (the Latin word is Hirpus which means wolf, so Irpinia is “The land of wolves”) where men work in the fields in harmony with nature and the seasons.

Irpinia is famous for its full-bodied red and white wines. In this land of woods, wolves, castles and hazelnuts cultivation are produced three of the most elegant and important Italian wines: Taurasi, “the king” of the southern Italian red wines, and two noble white wines, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino. These wines are very mineral because the soil is affected by its proximity to two ancient Vulcans, Mount Vesuvius and Mount Vulture.
