Terre del Volturno
Wine · PGI · 82 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Terre del Volturno PGI spans 82 municipalities in Campania, including Ailano. What distinguishes this territory from its neighbors is its preservation of rare, highly localized cultivars. While the standard maximum yield is 17.0 tonnes per hectare, the production rules mandate stricter, lower yields of 12 tonnes per hectare for ancient varieties like Casavecchia and Pallagrello Nero, and 13 tonnes per hectare for Pallagrello Bianco. For the 117 verified producers, the generic red must reach a minimum of 11.5% alcohol by volume, developing into a dry, harmonic, garnet-hued wine as it matures.
