While mornings can be spent on nature walks through the woods, perhaps even skiing in the wintertime, evenings include visits to the towns and taking part in exhibitions put on by artistic groups.) Irpinia Tour

An itinerary discovering the pride and glory of Irpinia, its wine. The area, in fact, produces no less than three fabulous wines for the region of Campania: Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Taurasi, bearing the prestigious DOCG marking, or Controlled and Guaranteed Denomination of Origin.

Starting off from Avellino and its surrounding countryside, we come to the area renowned for the production of Fiano, created purely from the vine of the same name, and known by the Latins as Vitis Apiana (deriving from 'ape', or bee, since bees are especially attracted by the pleasant sweetness of these grapes).

Our journey through the towns and villages of the Fiano winemaking area is also a cultural one. Beginning with the provincial capital, Avellino, well worth a visit for its ancient castle and Duomo dedicated to the Madonna dell’Assunta, while at the nearby town of Mercogliano, don't miss the splendid Abbey of Loreto.

Greco di Tufo DOCG is produced in the valley of the river Sabato: to speak of this great wine means venturing into a remote past, since this variety of vine was already cultivated two thousand years ago by the Romans under the name of “Animea Gemella”.

In addition to Tufo, other smaller surrounding townships contribute to the very limited production of this superb white wine, among which are Altavilla Irpina, where the Civic Museum is well worth a visit.

Just a few kilometres further ahead of Fiano, after having crossed Venticano, the so-called “Paese del Torrone” [nougat], produced with its renowned delicious local hazelnuts, we arrive at the small town of Taurasi. This is the centre of production for one of Italy's greatest DOCG red wines, Taurasi, obtained from the grapes of one of the most prestigious winemaking vines in the entire country: Aglianico, the ancient Vitis Hellenica.
Taurasi is a first rate red wine, with its intense ruby colour tending towards garnet red, acquiring an orangey reflection as it ages.

In addition to the wine, the ancient town of Taurasi offers a myriad of natural and artistic beauties to behold, such as its numerous elegant 17th and 18th century buildings featuring refined stone portals, the Medieval castle and Church of the Rosario.
