Benevento

Benevento, a significant provincial capital in Campania, is a pivotal center for the region's distinctive agricultural heritage.

Furthermore, the surrounding Sannio area, anchored by Benevento, is a renowned viticultural heartland. It yields the esteemed Aglianico del Taburno DOCG, originating from a zone of 13 municipalities, and the vibrant Falanghina del Sannio DOC. In total, 10 protected denominations call this area home, supported by 6 verified producers in Benevento, with one offering direct visits for enthusiasts.
