Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori d'Irpinia – An itinerary through hills, vineyards and traditions of the Campania hinterland. The Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori d'Irpinia crosses the heart of the province of Avellino, where the green hills and silent villages preserve some of the most renowned wines in Italy. In this area rich in history and biodiversity, Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo are produced, authentic ambassadors of Campania viticulture. 🍇 High-altitude vineyards and rich soils: The Irpinia vineyards extend between 400 and 700 meters above sea level, on volcanic, clayey and calcareous soils.
