Irpinia Wine Region History The Region of Campania is well established on tourist maps but, curiously, not on those of wine lovers. Yet these noble and mellow hills have long presented the world with superb products, many of them derived from Ancient Greek grape varietals: little-known "blockbuster" reds and fragrant, delicate whites. The names Greco, a white varietal, and Aglianico, both mean “Greekâ€�, the latter deriving from hellenic. The Roman naturalist and historian Pliny the Elder (23-79 A.D.) described both of these grapes in his Encyclopedia. On an interesting side note, Feudi di San Gregorio's spectacular wine cellar was designed by Japanese architect Hikaru Mori and is reputed to have cost twenty-five million dollars. Feudi wines are known for being concentrated but with finesse.   What's Included in Your Irpinia Wine Tour from Naples or Salerno Travel by Mercedes or equivalent level car or minibus with an English-speaking driver (approx. 7 hours) Tour of two wineries with the winery owner or qualified guide.
