May 2010-Wine Month in My Campania

Campania has dedicated an entire month  to the wine world with events in historical locations, appointments in cantinas, and wine tastings. A month of exciting events  cross-linking wine, art, design and luxury. From the Isola Verde of Ischia to verde Irpinia, passing through the city of Naples and Caserta Palace, all the way to the archaeological site of Pompeii. A whirlwind schedule of events are planned to celebrate good wines from my Campania. The calendar, sponsored by the Assessorato all’Agricoltura di Regione Campania,  from 6 May to 8 June  stars i Consorzi di Tutela, the Strade del Vino, and the many associations involved in the promotion and enhancement of the winemaking world, including the Movimento Turismo del Vinoa and la delegazione campana Donne del Vino will close with a grand gala at Città del Gusto Napoli.
