A recent trip to the Campania region of Italy, just below Naples, opened our eyes to the amazing range of good-value, top class wines available from the region. Just as we were turning away from northern Italian wines such as the super Tuscans because of the dramatic increase in price, we discovered these well-made, delicious wines at very reasonable prices. It's not surprising, of course, as it is one of the oldest wine regions in Italy.But, be warned. They will not remain good value for very long because the collectors are moving in already.The region has been brought into the modern world through a combination of passion, money and good wine making techniques. Some of the top end wines are stunners. We were amazed at the vibrant 97 Montevetrano, thought that the Mastroberardino Fiano di Avellino and Taurasi Radici were stunning, and fell in love with the Feudi di San Gregorio Greco di Tufo - a lovely crisp, vibrant white that matches the food of the region perfectly.The Feudi di San Gregorio estate is producing a range of beautifully made wines and they are certainly worth seeking out. It is situated in the province of Avellino near the town of Sorbo Serpico. The Greco di Tufo is the grape variety and it is said to have been brought to Italy by the Greeks over 2000 years ago.Have a look for it in good liquor stores throughout the world. You will be pleasantly surprised by the price.=====================Note that you can peruse all the wines recommended by foodtourist.com by choosing Wine from the Type list on our Home page.
