VOLCANIC WINES OF SICILY AND CAMPANIA

Saturday 25th July 12 pm - 2pm

From the dramatic slopes of Mount Etna to the volcanic landscapes surrounding Naples and Irpinia, this tasting explores two of Southern Italy's most captivating wine regions. Volcanic soils, Mediterranean sunshine and centuries of tradition combine to produce wines of remarkable purity, freshness and character. Discover the region's iconic native grapes, including Fiano, Greco, Falanghina, Piedirosso, Aglianico and Etna's celebrated Carricante and Nerello Mascalese. Compare the mineral precision of Campania's great whites with the elegant, smoky reds of Sicily's Etna. Along the way, we'll explore how volcanic terroir shapes the personality of each wine in the glass. The line-up features benchmark producers including Quintodecimo, Benanti, Girolamo Russo, Benito Ferrara, Petilia, Caggiano and De Falco. From vibrant, seafood-friendly whites to structured, age-worthy reds, these wines showcase the remarkable diversity of Southern Italy. Whether you're discovering these regions for the first time or looking to deepen your appreciation, this is a rare opportunity to taste them side by side. Join us for an afternoon of outstanding wines, fascinating stories and one of Italy's most exciting wine landscapes.
