Do you know Sannio? Some of you might, but for those who have never heard the word I’d like to provide a primer and recommend some wines from the Italian region, which lies North of Naples and offers lots of value, whether one is discussing wine, travel, food, or real estate.

Perhaps the first thing to know is that Sannio is located in Campania, in Italy’s southwest. It’s a land of hills and the soils which produce Sannio’s wine grapes are mostly limestone and sandstone beneath gravel and stone, along with some volcanic soils, which were deposited by the region’s many active, dormant and extinct volcanoes.
