CAMPANIA
Historically one of the great wine producing regions of Italy, Campania is home to the imperial grand cru Falernian and was once regarded as 'the vineyard of the Romans. Under prolonged patronage from the Papal court, Campania flourished, with many regarding its wines as the nearest thing to nectar that it was possible to find.
