The region is also internationally celebrated for its top-tier agriculture and winemaking.For a taste of authentic Italian charm beyond the tourist trail, explore the towns featured in I Borghi Più Belli d'Italia—Italy's list of its most beautiful hidden gems. Tourissimo Tip–This is a great tip for all 20 regions of Italy. Find out more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-italyFood lovers will be delighted to know that Sicily is also home to 23 Michelin-starred restaurants, including three two-star establishments and twenty with one star.Tourissimo Tip–If you visit Corleone, you should definitely learn about the legacy of the Mafia. We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

In recent years, there has been a lot of buzz around “volcanic wines.” The term makes it sound as if these are wines that are spawned from a volcano, but in reality these are wines that many people believe have special qualities because they grow on volcanic soils. In this show, I define the types of volcanoes before discussing the ecosystems they form. I then talk about the specific regions known to have volcanic wines, but I also point out that these areas have other factors that may create similarities in the wine – proximity to oceans, old vines (unaffected by phylloxera), and high elevations and cooling breezes. These must be considered, despite the fact that many of the volcanic wine groupies say flavor is purely from the soils. Here is the list of wines/places I discuss in the show:ItalyMount Etna, Sicily: Reds (Rosso of the Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio grapes), whites (Bianco, mainly of the Carricante grape)Soave, Veneto: Whites grown on specific hillsides (Garganega, Trebbiano di Soave grapes)CampaniaVesuvius: Whites of Coda di Volpe, Caprettone, Falanghina, Greco. Rosés and reds of Piedirosso, Aglianico, Sciacinoso Irpinia: Taurasi DOCG and Aglianico del Taburno DOCG: Reds of the Aglianico grape. I mention Feudi di San Gregorio Fiano di Avellino: May or may not be affected by the volcanic soilGreco di Tufo DOCG: White of the Greco grape, the sulfur and compressed volcanic ash (tufo),and volcanic sand and clay, give the wines an acidity, minerality & flintiness that has clear volcanic influence Basilicata: Aglianico del Vulture. Reds of Aglianico Piedmont: Alto Piemonte. Red blends in Gattinara, Boca, BramaterraUmbria/Lazio: Orvieto. Whites of Grechetto, Trebbiano Toscano______________Greece: Santorini - White of Assyrtiko.

Parlare di Campania del vino oggi significa far riferimento ad una regione che nonostante l'antichissima tradizione enoica e l'ampia base ampelografica, con vitigni autoctoni noti fin dall'epoca dei greci e dei romani, dal Greco di Tufo, al Taurasi, all'Aglianico del Taburno e alla Falanghina, fa fatica a godere di una riconoscibilità sul mercato in linea con le sue grandi potenzialità.
This was a fun wine, with a history that stretches all the way back to Pliny the Elder, a lost wine called "Falernum" & a flying overview of the whole convulted thing!(Trying to keep these under 30 minutes, but there was just so much great information to share & Alex couldn't stop talking! At least it was interesting!) Pop open a bottle, put in the earbuds, and let's Drink Something Amazing!Winemaker NotesThe color is straw yellow that contains brilliant green reflections. The perfume is intense and persistent with sensations of delicate white flowers and fruit. The taste offers freshness and balance, with a clean finish.Ideal as an aperitif, it can also accompany various types of appetizers, plates of simple fish and vegetables as well as fresh cheeses.Feudi di San Gregorio Established in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, a tiny village in Campania's Irpinia region, by the Capaldo and Ercolino families. Following an earthquake in 1980 that caused large destruction, the family wanted to assist in the town's reconstruction by investing in the community and its wine culture. Feudi di San Gregorio has partnered and invested in many research projects to develop the local varietals with a great focus on sustainability. They are committed to local and global sustainability with the use of solar energy, zero carbon footprint corks, water recycling and use of sustainable agriculture in the vineyards. Feudi di San Gregorio is known for their ancient vines, some up to 200 years old, using the ancient pergola training system, which survived the phylloxera spread of 1910, allowing Irpinia to become a distinct and treasured wine growing region in Italy.Feudi di San Gregorio Falanghina 2019Campania, Italy100% Falanghina 13.5% abv$24.99 average priceBuy This Wine! #Wine, #Whitewine, #Somm, #SpokaneSomm, #SommThing, #Sommelier, #winefun, #DrinkSomethingAmazing, #Winepodcast, #WineEducation, #Italy, #ItalianWine, #Campania, #FeudiDiSanGregorio, #Falanghina, #winetasting, #winetimeSupport the showLike the Show?

About today's guest: The Terredora di Paolo estate is located on the hills of Irpinia surrounding the valleys of the Sabato and Calore rivers. With about 180 hectares of vineyards, it is now among the most prestigious producers in Southern Italy. Although not so far from the Gulf of Naples, Pompeii, Amalfi and Sorrento, Irpinia is the inland area of Campania: hilly, mountainous and characterized by a continental climate. It enjoys a perfect soil and climatic environment for making high quality wines, a tradition started by the Greeks and Romans more than 3000 years ago. In fact, Irpinia is a quiet, harsh area nestled in the Apennines in the heart of Campania. Its landscape is a rolling succession of mountains, hills and upland plains divided by rivers and covered with lush vegetation. The identity of Terredora di Paolo wines is that of being “a precious fruit of nature worked by skillful hands”. Terredora di Paolo's vineyards exploit volcanic soils rich in limestone and clay and enjoy south-facing exposure with an excellent microclimate on breezy hills (400-650 meters above sea level). With approximately 3,500 vines per hectare grown with the traditional Guyot training system, annual production is around 60 hectoliters/hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small baskets with a minimal time span between destemming the grapes before sending them to the wine press. The native white grapes grown are Greco, Fiano, Falanghina, while the red grapes are Aglianico and Piedirosso.

Welcome to Episode 1289 in which Marc Millon interviews Silvia Fonzone of the Fonzone Winery in Irpinia. More about the Fonzone Winery: The Fonzone Caccese estate is located in Paternopoli, one of the seventeen municipalities of the Taurasi DOCG area, in the province of Avellino. The company boasts over twelve hectares of Aglianico, out of which the following wines are produced: Mattoda' Irpinia DOC Campi Taurasini and Scorzagalline Taurasi DOCG Riserva made with the grapes coming from the highest portion of the vineyard. Furthermore, the vineyards of Falanghina, destined for the production of the Irpinia Falanghina DOC Le Mattine, complete the vineyard area of the estate. The hill where the company estate extends, just outside the town, is located in the “Campi Taurasini” sub-area, and is surrounded by the municipalities of Villamaina, Castelfranci and Gesualdo, whose castle was inhabited by a branch of the Caccese family, from 1856 to 1980. The vineyards extend on both sides of the hill, benefiting from multiple exposures and an altitude ranging from 360 m to 430 m / above sea level. The hill includes both clayey – calcareous soils and looser textured soils, of clear sedimentary origin, and is surrounded by the Fredane and Ifalco streams, which clearly influence the microclimate of the entire area. Furthermore, given the proximity to Vesuvius as the crow flies, the first two layers of the soil have volcanic dust, deposit of the eruptions that took place over the centuries. To learn more about the estate visit: https://www.fonzone.it/en/the-territory/ More about the host Marc Millon: Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years.

To learn more visit: @divinoboston (Instagram) @vinofilosofia (Twitter) Ciro Pirone About today's guest producer: Salvatore Avallone's father created Villa Matilde in the 1960's after spending over 10 years of painstaking research to locate and identify the few remaining grape vines of the original strain that made the famous Falernum wine of Roman times. His father, Francesco Paolo, was a lawyer, a lifelong student of the Roman Empire and a professor of Roman Law at the University of Naples. He and his friends from the Dept of Agriculture at the University of Naples conducted an “ampelographical” study of the vines in all the small farms in the Caserta region where the famed Falernum wines had been grown. But the phylloxera epidemic of the late 1800's had wiped out the vines – all but a very few. The friends discovered 15 vines – 10 red (Aglianico and Piedirosso) and 5 white (Falanghina). With this small but precious start, the Avallone family embarked on a journey to create a modern expression of the greatest wine of ancient Rome, the Falerno del Massico.

E giungemmo così alla tappa finale della prima stagione di Vino al Vino 50 anni dopo.Per molti versi una doppia puntata: andiamo in Campania e allo stesso tempo chiudiamo il cerchio, tornando praticamente all'inizio del viaggio di Soldati, che si apre sì in Sicilia, ma con le parole di don Vincenzo Triunfo, pluricitato bottigliere incontrato a Napoli.Quindi da una parte proviamo a riannodare i fili di vari temi affrontati in queste settimane, dall'altra ci godiamo l'ultimo giorno di scuola insieme agli amici che ci hanno accompagnato fin qui: un'occasione privilegiata per conoscerli meglio.Con noi fin dal numero zero, il giornalista e scrittore irpino-partenopeo Marco Ciriello ci racconta la difficoltà e la bellezza di raccontare Napoli, partendo dalla duplicità paradigmatica di Eduardo De Filippo e Roberto De Simone, per arrivare a Nicola Pugliese e al suo Malacqua, opera dispari imprescindibile per chi cerca l'anima più profonda della città. Tocca come di consueto all'enogastro-detective più amato (?) del web innescare poi l'approfondimento sulla cucina regionale. Ma l'Ispettore Palma stavolta non si limita ad una rapida indagine: ci segue nella ricognizione completa dei grandi classici campani, svelandoci anche come ha mosso i primi passi nel suo pericoloso lavoro.A farci da Cicerone territoriale c'è invece l'amico Michele Pico Palermo, poliedrico napoletano-flegreo cresciuto praticamente sulla solfatara di Pozzuoli, che conosciamo come selezionatore del catalogo Farevino, ma anche e soprattutto come gaudente con una passione speciale per i libri a tema enogastronomico e per i vini “perduti”.Con lui ragioniamo a 360 gradi sulle traiettorie dell'enogastronomia campana, soffermandoci in particolare sui Campi Flegrei: cosa vuol dire vivere e produrre in questa zona, come si esprimono qui Falanghina e Piedirosso, quali sono le cantine e i vini di riferimento.Senza dimenticare i contributi su passato e presente della cucina napoletana e dell'universo pizza, corredati da tanti consigli di viaggio e sosta, adatti ad ogni esigenza geografica, stilistica e di budget.Non ci resta quindi che augurarvi buon ascolto, ringraziandovi per il tempo e l'attenzione che ci avete dedicato e che non avremmo mai immaginato.Ci ritroviamo in autunno per la seconda stagione di Vino al Vino 50 anni dopo: non mancheranno novità e sorprese, partendo sempre e comunque dal desiderio di seguire Mario Soldati in giro per l'Italia con la nostra chiassosa carovana di amici.Tipicamente presentaVino al vino 50 anni dopoUn podcast di Paolo De Cristofaro e Antonio Boco I° serie, decima puntataNella province di Napoli e Caserta.

The Provence styles are unpredictable so unless you have a producer you love, go New World Sparkling: I prefer Champagne but Crémant (which we don’t mention but is a great option), Cava or American Sparkling will work, as will Cap Classique from South Africa. I’m less of a fan of Prosecco. I’m a big fan of drinking the bubbly with food rather than enjoying it just on its own. Traditional Reds: Pinot Noir Zinfandel Syrah Beaujolais Alternative Reds: Lighter Garnacha, Bobal, or Mencîa from Spain Austrian reds: St. Laurent, Zweigelt, Blaüfrankisch (as long as they are lighter and not too spicy) Lighter styles of Zinfandel like those from the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma (we mention Nalle and Peterson as favorites) or Primitivo (still Zin!) from Puglia Pinot Noir but New World styles from Oregon, Santa Barbara, and New Zealand Cabernet Franc from Virginia, New York, and Loire Merlot, especially Merlot from the Right Bank of Bordeaux Thanks to our sponsors this week: Thanks to YOU!

La storia di Villa Matilde comincia negli anni Sessanta con Francesco Paolo Avallone, avvocato e appassionato cultore di vini antichi, che, incuriosito dai racconti di Plinio e dai versi di Virgilio, Marziale ed Orazio sul vinum Falernum, decise di riportare in vita il leggendario vino scomparso al principio del secolo scorso. Coadiuvato da un gruppo di amici, tra cui alcuni docenti della Facoltà di Agraria dell’Università di Napoli, individuò, dopo anni di studio, le viti che avevano dato vita al Falerno in epoca romana: pochi ceppi sopravvissuti miracolosamente alla devastazione della filossera di fine Ottocento vennero ripiantati, con l’aiuto di pochi contadini locali, proprio nel territorio del Massico dove un tempo erano prosperati e fondò Villa Matilde.Oggi l’azienda è guidata dai figli di Francesco Paolo, Maria Ida e Salvatore Avallone che con dedizione esclusiva proseguono il sogno e il progetto del padre raccogliendone l’importante eredità e guardando ancora oltre: dall’Ager Falernus si sono spinti sino alle province di Benevento e Avellino con nuove vigne, nuovi progetti e vini che raccontano l’identità forte della Campania Felix. Nel 2000 Villa Matilde ha infatti inaugurato Tenuta Rocca dei Leoni e nel 2004 Tenuta d’Altavilla, rispettivamente nel cuore del Sannio beneventano e nel distretto delle Docg irpine, in provincia di Avellino, avviando la produzione di nuovi vini.

Southern Italy is an historically poor part of Italy, making inferior wines. The last 20 years have seen more investment and quality has risen - not least because there are some superb local grape varieties such as Aglianico, Fiano, Greco, and Falanghina.
Jason Booth (Wine for Sophisticated Homies , ImprovSchrimprov) and his wife Bree (wine enjoyer) join Shaughn and Ellen to whine about bad parents and their obnoxious babies. They give it a couple of pairings: a Beaujolais Nouveau in honor of the whine's youth and the Quintodecimo Falanghina d'Irpinia Via del Campo from sponsor Gregory Condes Wines is cracked just to drink. The hip sip tips are non-alcoholic this week! Ellen's been sipping Lucky Jack Nitro Cold Brew. Shaughn's is Go Get Em' Tiger's turmeric latte. They swear they aren't hipsters. They take a question from the mailbag about an aerator's validity. Hint: don't bring one to the restaurant to impress the somm. As for the whine: From doublewide strollers at Disneyland to screaming babies in restaurants we all wish parents would hire sitters and not bring babies to bars. They discuss favorite Beaujolais crus and favorite dance crews! Then the wine gossip gets deep with WSETs vs Court Master Somm tests and how global warming is changing the wine styles. Talk goes a little dark when everyone discusses their "last supper" wines...please send all vintage rosé Champagne, Richebourg, Pantelleria and Madeira their way. Plus, big news about Jason and Bree's plans for a wine tour company! The lightning round covers Campania's famous reds (which leads to some WNBA trivia), what Quintodecimo means, who kicked Gamay out of Burgundy proper, and legal drinking ages abroad.

Una storia che ha preservato e valorizzato la tradizione di straordinari millenari vitigni autoctoni di origine greca e latina.I fratelli Walter e Antonio Mastroberardino, eredi di una più che secolare tradizione familiare nel vino, nel 1993 decisero di intraprendere diversi percorsi imprenditoriali: Antonio tenne l'azienda storica, mentre Walter optò per le vigne. Nel 1994, con i figli Paolo, Lucio e Daniela costruì la sua nuova cantina di vinificazione a Montefusco che volle chiamare Terredora, in onore della moglie Dora Di Paolo.“Terredora è la storia di uomini forti e tenaci legati alla terra di Campania da un'antica passione per la vite”È la continuità del progetto che da sempre pone al centro delle iniziative della nostra famiglia la terra e l'insieme di valori che essa rappresenta. La terra e il vigneto sono l'anima, la fonte, la grande forza di Terredora e, anno dopo anno, la vendemmia, con i suoi profumi, i colori intensi, i sapori autentici, è la nostra più grande ricompensa. “Walter, Paolo, Lucio e Daniela Mastroberardino”

If you’ve listened to the podcast in recent weeks, you may have noticed a small focus on Italian white wines as well as white wines in general. It’s not that we don’t enjoy reds in the summer, but rather, we wanted to give you some light, crisp wine options for summer instead of the usually sweet wine or Pinot Gris that dominate the shelves in wine shops. So this week we continue that journey into lesser known varieties with a white wine and grape from Southern Italy called Falanghina. This week's episode we discussed: The history of the Falanghina grape Campania wine region There are actually two different Falanghina grapes! Flavor characteristics Food pairings
The fact Campania is a land of great white wines - not to mention red wines - it is a well known thing. Taburno certainly is one of the most interesting territories of this region and here, at Torrecuso in province of Benevento, is located the historical Fontanavecchia winery, mainly committed to Aglianico and Falanghina. One of the great wines made by Rillo family - Taburno Falanghina Facetus 2008 - conquers DiWineTaste five diamons and our sun, as well as the title of best wine of April 2016. An endless Falanghina, rich in emotions and extraordinary class.
Che la Campania fosse grandissima terra di vini bianchi - non da meno di rossi - era cosa risaputa. Il Taburno è certamente uno dei territori più interessanti di questa regione e qui, a Torrecuso in provincia di Benevento, ha sede la storica cantina Fontanavecchia, dedita prevalentemente all'Aglianico e Falanghina. Uno dei grandi vini della famiglia Rillo - il Taburno Falanghina Facetus 2008 - conquista i cinque diamanti e il sole di DiWineTaste e il titolo di migliore vino di Aprile 2016. Una Falanghina infinita, densa di emozioni e strepitosa classe.
Pizza was invented in Naples. You know what goes great with Pizza? Wine. You know where the first great wines of the world came from? Campania. Pizza and Falernian Wine. Need I say more? On this whiz bang episode of Wine for Sophisticated homies, super somms Jason Booth and Ben Draper teach you all about this up-and-coming Italian wine behemoth. From the red Aglianico, to the royal triumvirate of whites: Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, and Falanghina, Campania wine is a companion wine. Drink it with your companions. You'll thank us later. Or now if you like...go ahead.
DIAGNOSIS: MURDER... *cough*, excuse me, DIAGNOSIS: MIRTH. Arguable mirth. Check out this piece 'o' pod in which Xander and Grush are joined by the beardedness of Jacob Ligon and the sexy doctor knowledge of Emily Beers M.D. Finally we will learn if, well...when, Grush will die and also get extensive pricing estimates on how much plastic surgery would cost him (to pretty him up till he dies). Have all the medical questions answered (you didn't even know you had) and perhaps a touch of a review of a white wine. Mostly total, inappropriate mouth nonsense, of course. And a sentence fragment, or two. iTunes search algorithm terms (for our robot overlords, humans can ignore this): comedy, booze, review, funny, Chicago, improv, stand up, silly, wine, socks, toe-shoes, Jesus sandals, Jesus water wings
Piero Mastroberardino leads the family winery, Mastroberardino, in Italy's Campania region. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Antonio Mastroberardino, Piero's father, who died on January 28th at the age of 86.
Last year we covered so much in last year’s Thanksgiving episode that we barely left anything for this year. We didn’t just want to do a recap or recite the same old wines that everyone else recommends. So for this Winter Solstice Plus (for our international listeners)/Thanksgiving edition, we talk about how to incorporate your original heritage into the feast this year. After we give thanks to some folks for comments, we address: The basics of food and wine pairing The largest ethnic groups from which most people in the US derive — German, English, Italian, French, Hungarian, Portuguese, and Austrian — and which wines associated with these countries will pair with the big day. More detail on food and wine pairing. As promised, here are a few of the wines we mentioned: German Riesling (Spätlese, Auslese, Spätburgunder/Pinot Noir) White Bordeaux Fiano d’Avellino, Falanghina, Barbera The white wines of Alsace and Rhône, Rosé (not more tha [...]
