The charming and uncontaminated territory of Cilento e Vallo di Diano
National Park includes two wine designations of the interesting wine
growing panorama of Campania. The designations are relatively recent,
but without a doubt bound to gradually connote the rural landscape and
to create a very significant development trend. The designations
interesting this production area are: DOC Castel San Lorenzo and DOC
Cilento. They safeguard the production features of these areas, with
grapes characterizing the area for decades and therefore traditional,
like Barbera, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, and Malvasia. Moreover, they grow
together with local grapes like Aglianico, Greco, and Fiano, locally
called Santa Sofia.
The controlled designation of origin Cilento includes a large territory in the province of Salerno (58 Municipalities). It was established in 1989 to safeguard a considerable number of wines produced in the area with grapes widespread in Campania since the Roman Age. Besides Aglianico, we have White, Rosé, and Red wines.
