Campania In The Headlines
Michele Boscia
As you likely already know, the team at Oliver McCrum has been very excited about the wines of Campania for well over a decade. In his most recent article for Forbes, Paul Caputo hedges that mindset even further, writing: "To call Campania the most exciting wine region in Italy is a big statement. Depending on your metrics however, it may well be true."
With producers like Capolino Perlingieri, Ciro Picariello, Contrade di Taurasi, La Sibilla, Laura de Vito, Michele Perillo, Reale, and Villa Dora to choose from, it's easy to see how someone could draw that conclusion! Caputo succinctly summarizes: "For sheer breadth and diversity of both terroir and native varieties, no Italian region feels more engaging, or more exciting, right now."
