CAMPANIA

CAMPANIA

by Nettare Ambrosia 06 Feb 2023

Campania is distinguished by an extremely ancient winemaking tradition, so much so that Campanian wine was already famous in the times of ancient Rome: Falerno was particularly famous, today relaunched in a modern version (vinified in white with a Falanghina base and in red with an Aglianico or Primitivo) from some local producers of the Caserta area, on the hills of Mondragone and Sessa Aurunca.

Campania is particularly rich in vines, in particular in autochthonous vines, recently rediscovered and valued as they deserve and from which the most interesting wines of Campania come. Among the indigenous white grape varieties of Campania are Asprinio, Falanghina, Fiano, Greco, Coda di Volpe, white Pallagrello, Biancolella and Forastera. Among the native black grape varieties, Aglianico, which is joined by Piedirosso (known as Per'e Palummo, or Columbus' Foot), Sciascinoso, black Pallagrello and Casavecchia. The latter vine, forgotten for years and recently rediscovered with excellent results, is a grape with excellent qualities capable of producing extremely elegant and richly colored red wines, having a higher anthocyanin content than Aglianico. Barbera and Sangiovese are the most cultivated vines among those not native to the region.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
