Published: Feb. 10, 2023, midnight

Welcome to Episode 1266, of\xa0#everybodyneedsabitofscienza. Today Stevie is with our favorite Professore Attilio Scienza in Campania, in Irpinia. They discuss the grape varieties, the territory, and the wine evolution of this important region. Scienza tells the three most important things to know about Campania wines and its territory that has a great future in the wine world.\nThe Consortium \u201cTutela dei Vini dell\u2019Irpinia\u201d was established as a voluntary, non-profit association, on 2003. Less than 50 kilometres from Naples, thanks to the conformation of its territory, Irpinia is a land devoted to the production of fine wines. The peculiar orography of the territory results in particular microclimates, varying from area to area, which allow different types of wines to be produced. In fact, Irpinia, today, is the province in Campania with the highest concentration of vineyards and can boast the presence of three DOCG wines: Taurasi, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino. The mission of the Consortium is to protect and enhance these wines, vine products, vineyards of Irpinia as a a national cultural heritage.\nTo learn more about Consorzio \u201cTutela dei Vini dell\u2019Irpinia\u201d visit:\nconsorziovinidirpinia.it/eng/...\nIf you want to learn more about the Professore:\nThe one who checks all the facts and regulates when we mistakenly type "Verdicchio" in place of "Vermentino.\u201d Attilio Scienza is a full professor at the University of Milan in the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences where he teaches courses on genetic improvements to the vine; he also teaches Viticulture in the Master\u2019s program of the University of Turin in Asti.
