Southern Italy
Southern Italy encompasses the regions of:
- Molise
- Campania
- Basilicata
- Calabria
- Puglia
- Sicily
These regions are quite different from each other, each with their own variety of soil types and micro-climates. However, despite their differences, there are some common features throughout Southern Italy: volcanoes, beaches and sunshine.
Volcanoes - The Roman city of Pomeii was covered in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD in the region of Campania. Luckily, it’s been quiet ever since!
Like New Zealand, Southern Italy is geologically active. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and other geological events are quite common here. However, that hasn’t stopped winemakers. Some vineyards in Sicily are actually planted on the slopes of Mount Etna, an active volcano.
Beaches - Italy is a long, skinny country, and the ocean is never far away – especially on the peninsulas and isles of Southern Italy. This proximity to the ocean means cool ocean breezes regularly blow through the landscape. These breezes temper the hot Mediterranean climate and help the grapes maintain their refreshing acidity.
Sunshine - Southern Italy is known for having long, dry, hot summers and temperate autumns. Grapes love this weather. However, to make vibrant wines, they need a bit of cool air every once in a while. Fortunately, elevation also helps moderate these warm temperatures. That is why so many vineyards dot the hillsides and mountains of Southern Italy.
