Woke up to the sunrise over Naples. A wonderful day with a private visit to the Terredora Winery in Campagnia--about 1 1/2 hour drive on the far side of Mt. Vesuvius. Terredora's wines have been receiving 90+ ratings and a lot of attention--we found out why. The area is one of the oldest viniculture regions in the world--the local grape varietals have been cultivated here for 2700+ years! Hand-picked, estate grapes grown in volcanic soil are crafted into wines of finesse. Our Touring & Tasting group was fortunate to taste their Falanghina, Greco di Tufo, Fiano, Aglianico varietals, plus the excellent red Taurasi blend. Read tasting notes here.
