Briny whites from Campania
White wines from Campania, suitable for summertime and for the lighter cuisines which characterize our tables in this period.
Talking about Caserta area it is impossible not to mention Maria Ida and Tani Avallone, the lucky owners of what is now one of the most complete wineries of Campania: Villa Matilde Avallone. They own vineyards in the Casertano, Sannio and Irpinia areas, covering almost all the main regional appellations. Above all, they rediscovered the most ancient wine of the world: Falerno, which is produced by using modern wine making systems while following the tradition of aging in amphora.
From here to Irpinia, where Oreste De Santis dedicates himself with excellent results to the family business, Cantine Macchie Santa Maria, making use of a modern structure, of a careful agronomy and of the ancient Irpinian traditions to produce wine. He does this in Montemiletto, in the heart of the green Irpinia, where the climate is affected by thermal changes needed for the healthy development of grapes. Its wines are the result of an integrated viticulture which sees the classic autochthonous vines planted on soils of different nature.
Finally, let's go to the small town of Trecase, at the slopes of Vesuvius and of its National Park. Casa Setaro is a virtuous example of how a small family winery can produce quality territorial wines. Massimo Setaro, current owner of the winery, has the merit of having recovered the ancient white berried caprettone vine, planted with free standing and raised with other grape varieties with the ancient system of Vesuvian pergola. Vines grow in lava soil rich in potassium and microelements, composed by lapilli and sand.
