Sannio

Sannio is a wine subregion located in the northeastern part of Campania in southern Italy, centered around the city of Benevento and characterized by hilly terrain and a mix of Mediterranean and continental climate with good day-night temperature variations. The area is particularly known for its white wines made from Falanghina, Greco, and Fiano grapes, while red wines are primarily produced from Aglianico, Piedirosso, and Sangiovese varieties. Sannio received DOC status in 1997 and produces a diverse range of styles including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and sweet passito wines, with Falanghina del Sannio having achieved its own DOCG designation.
