WINES
Campania, a region renowned for its diverse and flavorful wines, boasts several exceptional grape varieties.
The Campania Week in Miami brings to you 4 varieties of its wines:
The prominent Aglianico grape, thriving in volcanic soils near Mount Vesuvius, produces robust and age-worthy red wines with notes of dark cherries and spices, often dubbed the “Barolo of the South.”
Falanghina, a native white grape, yields crisp wines reflecting the sunny terroir, characterized by green apple and citrus flavors with a touch of minerality.
The ancient Fiano grape contributes to Campania’s wine heritage, producing complex white wines with a delightful blend of floral, honeyed, and nutty notes.
Pallagrello Bianco is a wine that enchants with its floral and citrus notes, revealing aromas of cedar and grapefruit that delight the palate. But what makes this wine truly unique is its structure, which characterizes it as a full and round wine, enriched by a surprising minerality.
TOMATOES
Campania, blessed with fertile volcanic soil and a warm Mediterranean climate, produces tomatoes that are a culinary delight and a testament to the region’s agricultural expertise.
The renowned San Marzano tomatoes, grown near Mount Vesuvius, are elongated, sweet, and meaty, making them ideal for Italian sauces and canning.
For the preparation of peeled tomatoes, San Marzano tomatoes are generally used. These, after careful washing, are boiled for at least two minutes, to facilitate the peeling process. Once peeled they are introduced into cans and sealed. Often the final cooking takes place inside the tin itself, to ensure longer preservation.
PASTA
Campanian pasta showcases the region’s rich agricultural heritage and culinary expertise.
The region is also famous for making artisan dried pasta, handmade by professionals, to ensure that only the best ingredients and processes are used to produce a quality product. The process of making artisan dried pasta is slower, but it consists of hand-mixing the ingredients, rolling and extruding the dough, and drying the pasta at low temperature.
Gragnano, a small town in Campania, is renowned for producing pasta from this town using durum wheat semolina, water, and a meticulous drying process. What sets Campanian pasta apart is its rough texture, which allows sauces to cling to every strand, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
Campania week brings to you:
