his quality wine is produced in the territories of 13 municipal districts at the foot of Mount Taburno, in Campania, dotted with vineyards and olive groves. Taburno is the fruit of favorable climatic conditions and the know-how and experience of the area's skilled winegrowers, who are the best allies of the local grape varieties, especially Aglianico and Falanghina.
Until a few decades ago, it was hard to find traces of the glorious past of the local wines here. The local winegrowers' cooperative should be given full credit for having wisely brought together its 400 members in an operation aimed at reviving the great tradition of winemaking in this area through the careful selection of the grapes: the first step in obtaining wines of great quality and distinction.
A growing number of individual producers is involved today in this true renaissance of Taburno wines, as well as in the experimentations with new production techniques.
