- Winemaking in Campania dates back to ancient times, with evidence of viticulture dating to the Greek and Roman periods. The Greeks established vineyards in areas like the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast, introducing grape varieties that continue to thrive in the region today.
- Known as the “Barolo of the South,” Aglianico is one of Campania’s most renowned red grape varieties. It thrives in volcanic soils and produces bold, complex wines with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth. Taurasi DOCG is the flagship appellation for Aglianico wines in Campania.
- Wine plays an integral role in Campanian cuisine, where it is often paired with local dishes such as pasta, seafood, and buffalo mozzarella. Wineries in the region often offer wine tastings and food pairings, providing visitors with an immersive gastronomic experience.

The volcanic activity of Mount Vesuvius and the Campi Flegrei has enriched the soil in parts of Campania, particularly around Naples and the Bay of Naples. These volcanic soils, known as “tufo,” are prized for their fertility and ability to impart unique mineral flavors to the grapes.
Along the coast of Campania, especially in areas like the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast, there are coastal plains where vineyards benefit from the moderating influence of the Mediterranean Sea. These areas are known for producing crisp white wines and aromatic reds.
Inland, Campania is bordered by the rugged Apennine Mountains, which provide diverse microclimates and altitudes suitable for grape cultivation. The mountainous terrain creates varying exposures to sunlight and temperature fluctuations, contributing to the complexity of Campanian wines.
Campania includes several islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, such as Capri, Ischia, and Procida. These islands have their own viticultural traditions, with vineyards often planted on terraced slopes overlooking the sea. The volcanic soils of Ischia, in particular, are known for producing distinctive wines.
