Irpinia
Wine · PDO · 118 municipalities
Established in 2004 across 118 Campania municipalities like Aiello del Sabato, the Irpinia DOC stands out from neighbouring appellations through its diverse production rules, which uniquely codify a white-vinified style of the red Aglianico grape. To maintain geographic integrity, all vinification must occur within the province of Avellino. The denomination's classic method spumante wines require patient cellar aging, preventing their release before 18 months from October first of the harvest year. Furthermore, the specialized Campi Taurasini subzone enforces strict regional standards, capping grape yields at 11 tonnes per hectare and requiring a minimum of 85% Aglianico.
