IRPINIA: THE TREASURE OF CAMPANIA

Let's reveal the secrets of these lands, excellence of Campania.

Discovering why Irpinia is the ideal environment for viticulture

From the combination of altitude and slopes, from volcanic soils and calcareous-clayey, with long summers and from thermal excursions day-night, an internationally renowned wine production is born.

The proposal includes an in-depth study of the history of the Irpinia region, vineyards, and historical viticulture which gives life to wines of excellence, recognized with quality brands, from ancient grapes, where knowledge of the raw material is crucial to obtaining an excellent result. We will explore the wines that are the flagship of the area from the Greco and Fiano white berried ones to the red berried ones like Aglianico, also knows as “The Barolo of the South”.

PROGRAM

After 50 minutes from Naples, the gusts will reach Taurasi town. In Taurasi, they will be met by the local official guide who will give them a private tour of the town, followed by a private visit of the Taurasi castle.  The day will continue with a private sensory experience inside the castle to better understand how to approach wine inspection.  After the sensorial experience, the guests will be taken to a local winery where an in-depth private visit of the winery will provide a clear insight into the wine production process, followed by a tour of a local vineyard to further understand vine training systems and management.

After the tour, our clients will be accompanied to the exclusive winery restaurant, just a 2-minute walk from the cellar, where they will be served a 5-course lunch in the exclusive and panoramic restaurant, using seasonal products from farm-to-table.

The wine-tasting evening will be led by a dedicated sommelier who will start the experience with an anthropological introduction to the history of wine in the world, Italy, Campania, and Irpiania – a region within the region – with the support of a PowerPoint presentation of 20 minutes approx.  The experience will continue with an introduction to the indigenous wines, seasonally and carefully chosen to pair with the dishes proposed for the event.  The sommelier will tune in on the guest’s level, and teach basic wine inspection techniques, and food-wine pairing strategies, and where requested and needed, further examine in depth any topic demanded.
