1. Avellino, city, Campania region, southern Italy, on the Sabato River surrounded by the Apennines, east of Naples. Its name is derived from Abellinum, a stronghold of the Hirpini (an ancient Italic people) and later a Roman colony, the site of which lies just to the east of the modern city. Conquered by the Lombards in the 8th century and destroyed by the Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great, Avellino passed in turn to the princely families of Balzo, Filangieri, and Caracciolo. In the rising of 1820, the first attempt was made to obtain a constitution from the king of Naples. The city became part of the Italian kingdom in 1860. Avellino is largely modern, for it has suffered from numerous earthquakes in its history, the most recent in 1980. The tasting will be supported by the story of historical vintage told by the Owner of the winery: from the vintage climatic trend to the characteristics of the territory, from the expectations of the wine to the choices of the producer. They will talk about how each wine is the result of hard work, passion and dedication.

2. The Wine Tour

The Wine Tour offers a remarkable experience in the countryside vineyard in Avellino. On this tour, you will experience the wine making processes while also getting to taste and buy authentic Italian wine. This is a must tour for any wine lover who would want to explore some of Italy’s finest wines, such as Fiano and, Taurasi. The main feature of this place is the clay component, that makes local wines so distinctive. Some of the most exciting and intriguing wines coming out of Italy have one thing in common: the volcanic origins of their soils and, temperature ranges between day and night make these wines outstanding. The volcanic soils impart undeniable mineral sensations that include flint, crushed rock and saline, lending depth and complexity to the resulting wines. Additionally, many of these grape-growing areas have extremely old vines, some more than 100 years old in parts of Campania. Nearly all of the “volcanic” denominations rely on native varietals that have had centuries to adapt to their growing conditions. The vineyard altitude, grape varieties and cellar practices all play crucial roles in the final product, but volcanic soils lend structure, longevity and an extra layer of dimension to the final wines. Here you will have the opportunity to taste these wines as well have a brunch
