Advanced Southern Italy for WSET 3 Wine and Aglianco lovers from @winebeerspirits

Journey to the sun-drenched vineyards of Southern Italy! This is the land where intense heat dictates the style, resulting in wines that are often full-bodied and high in alcohol. Discover the unique challenges and traditions of viticulture in this dramatic landscape, from the hot, dry inland plains to the cooling, high-altitude slopes of the Apennines and the volcanic power of Mount Etna. We’ll cover the key regions—Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, and Sicily—and explore how local producers are harnessing native grapes and innovative techniques to craft wines of incredible balance and longevity.

Learn about the “Nebbiolo of the South,” Aglianico, which produces the deeply structured wines of Taurasi, and the history-rich indigenous whites, Fiano and Greco. We’ll also explore the robust reds of the plains, such as Negroamaro and Primitivo (Zinfandel), and travel to Sicily for a look at the elegant Nerello Mascalese from Etna and the island’s flagship red, Nero d’Avola. Find out why this region has successfully moved beyond its bulk production past to focus on varietal purity and high-quality winemaking.
