Irpinia, historic region of the Appennine countryside and unique viticultural territory, in which vineyards coexist always with fruit trees, forests, olives adnd aromatic herbs. A territory both bitter and sweet, offering connotations of strength and intensity. An inland zone in which vineyards had already found testimony in the texts of Pliny, Columella and Strabone. The situation of the soils of the Irpinian territory is quite varied: a continual succession of mountains, hills, plains, interspersed by streams of water.
The orografic configuration determines a regime of winds that divert to the region a beneficial rainfall and creates a microclimate that differs in the Campanian context: the vegetation is varied and dense, the winters, though brief, are rigid and snowy and the summers wet and prolonged. We don’t speak of Campania, we speak of Irpinia!
