Campi Flegrei DOC white wine

Campania white wines with the Campi Flegrei DOC designation are exclusively produced in the territory of the municipalities of Procida, Monte di Procida, Pozzuoli, Bacoli, Quarto and in part of the territory of the municipalities of Marano and Napoli, all sited in the district of Napoli. The morphological and climatic characteristics of this production area are at the base of the excellence of these Campania white wines: the specific benefits of the union between territory and climate reside above all in the temperature level, consisting in a mainly mild weather during most of the year, characterized by long warm summers and short winters, and in the exposure of the grapes to the sea breezes – and to the mineral elements they give to the wine – and to the sun for 2/3 of the year. The various hilly landscapes help the winemakers to hide and open small production areas to the wind, generating different microclimates and creating a profitable alternation between the properly continental natural factors, deriving from the highest and mountainous area, and between the mineral elements in the coastal strip and in the most of the production areas close to the sea. There are two types of Campania white wines included in the Campi Flegrei DOC designation: Campi Flegrei DOC bianco and Campi Flegrei DOC Falanghina (the passito and spumante versions are also available for the latter type). These white wines have a more or less intense straw yellow colour (tending to greenish in the case of Falanghina), with a vinous, delicate and characteristic aroma and a dry, soft and harmonious flavour.
