Campania
Wine · PGI · 550 municipalities
Recognised since 2008, the Campania PGI serves a distinct role as a safety net, allowing regional winemakers to use it as a 'ricaduta' or fallback designation for DOP vineyards that do not meet specific DOP requirements. This broad designation encompasses 550 municipalities, starting alphabetically with Acerno, and sets a maximum yield of 17.0 tonnes per hectare. With a minimum alcohol level of 10.0% and a grape-to-wine yield capped at 75%, it excludes riserva or minimum wood-aging rules. It offers a flexible alternative for single-varietal wines, requiring at least 85% of specific grapes such as Aglianico or Fiano.
