Terroir, native grapes, harvest-day estate visits and Sunday supper pairings — fifteen years of dispatches from across Campania by Luigi & Jo Di Caprio.
Featured · TerroirTuscany and Piedmont take the headlines, but the volcanic slopes of Campania hold the country's oldest native vines — and some of its most thrilling wines.
Grape ProfilesPlanted by the Greeks, aged in Slavonian oak, and capable of outliving the family that made it — a field guide to Campania's 'Barolo of the South.'
Estate VisitsWe spent an October morning on the sheer chalk hillside of San Paolo di Tufo, where one of Italy's most coveted Greco crus is hand-harvested late.
TerroirOn the black ash of Trecase, centenary vines still grow on their own roots. The story of Lacryma Christi is the story of the mountain itself.
Grape ProfilesWhy a grape grown on a sheer hillside of chalk and natural sulphur makes a white with more nerve than most reds — and ages better than most of them too.
Food & PairingA simple Sunday menu built around Gragnano's bronze-die paccheri — and the three bottles we would open alongside it.
