Campania

Vineyards & Wineries for sale in Campania - Sorrento Peninsula, Amalfi Coast

Viticulture in Campania has ancient origins, with clear evidence from the Roman period. It is, however, to the Greeks that we owe the introduction of the vine in southern Italy: the Romans then picked up this legacy and introduced new and more efficient production techniques. From Pompeii, wine from Campania reached all corners of the Empire.

With the Middle Ages, wine-growing in Campania went through one of its darkest periods and it was only from the 1970s onwards that producers decided to focus on the rediscovery of indigenous grapes, resulting in interesting, high-quality wines.

Campania's production (around 1,700,000 hl per year obtained from over 24,000 ha of vineyards) is favoured by climatic conditions that range from a mild, dry and windy climate on the coasts to a generally continental and cooler climate inland.

Among the best known and most renowned grape varieties in the region, Falanghina, Fiano, Greco, Biancolella, Piedirosso and Casavecchia are worth mentioning. Two "imported" grape varieties (Sangiovese and Barbera) have been enjoying success in recent years. In terms of appellations, Campania boasts four DOCGs (Taurasi, Fiano di Avellino, Taburno and Greco di Tufo), fourteen DOCs (including Ischia, Capri, Penisola Sorrentina and Costa d'Amalfi) and no less than ten IGTs.

ORGANIC VINEYARDS AND WINERY FOR SALE, AMALFI COAST

Amalfi Coast Winery

The estate, built along a cliff overlooking the sea, covers a total surface of 22.0 hectares (54.2 acres), masterfully terraced so to fully exploit lands placed on steep slope, and falls inside the Parco regionale dei Monti Lattari.

Cultivated following a totally organic management we have a vineyard (6.1 ha with varieties of the area), an olivegrove (2.4 ha with Colline Salernitane DOP appellation) and a citrus grove (2.6 ha).

The remaining surface (10.9 ha) is covered in woodland and Mediterranean scrub. Among other things we have figs and prickly pears which (together with grapes and lemons) are used in the production of organic marmalades and jams.

The winery produces the following wines:

Costa d’Amalfi DOC Bianco: Falanghina (50%), Biancolella (10/15%), Ginestra (30/35%)

Among the products of the estate we must remember the excellent Femminello sfusato Amalfitano “Limone Costa d’Amalfi IGP” whose zest is also used in the production of a lemon-flavored liquor. The wild fennel growing inside the estate is used to produce another liquor named Finocchietto. The production of the two liquors currently ranges around a few thousands bottles, but could be further increased.

USE AND POTENTIAL USES

The property is currently run as an organic farm with production of wines, oil, jams, lemons and liquors. The restoration of the many buildings along the slope would allow converting them into residential units which could be rented out to the many tourists visiting the Amalfi Coast every year, granting an increment of the property’s income.

The agricultural activities could also act as learning activities for visitors, a way to shows the peculiar cultivation systems needed in the area and the productive processes involved in the production of wine, oil, jams and liquors.
