About this Six Pack:
For one with such a brief career as a known entity in the modern wine realm, Campania is extremely accomplished. Foremost among its achievements is the impact it has had on Italy’s overall viticultural values. Over the past several years, many Italian winemakers have styled their wines to appeal to a modern audience, foregoing the distinctive identity of Italian wines. Campania, through its ancient varietals, has done much to bring Italy back to itself, inspiring many regions to undertake efforts to find or pay attention to their own “lost” native varieties.

Moreover, while many of Campania’s indigenous grapes remain unknown to a large audience, Aglianico has cultivated a notable presence among wine enthusiasts worldwide, particularly under the Taurasi DOCG, which is regarded as its foremost expression. Campania also enjoys the enviable distinction of being home to a significant number of cult wines, many of which began as “garage” wines—the expression of individual passion. Indeed, such an admirable orientation defines Campania as a whole.
  
Discover this spirit in our special Campania Six-Pack, which includes the famed Taurasi of Mastroberardino, the producer whose varietal rescue efforts quite literally account for Campania’s present and Vestini’s work with the royal Pallagrello Nero, and the animale red.
