On the Road-Destination-Taurasi

No matter where I turn, my aglianico, in version Taurasi is popping up all over. Star of Città del Gusto’s recent wine lab and present at least 4 wine tastings that I attended at Vinitaly. Why? Taurasi , the wine and the town, is on a roll. From last fall’s inauguration of a Regional Enoteca smack in the middle of Taurasi’s central storico to ‘Andar per Taurasi’; the latest opportunity to know Taurasi up front and personal.


April 30 and May 1st Slow Food Irpinia Colline dell’Ufita e Taurasi will present two slow days in the Taurasi DOCG area. Visit wineries, taste local cooking, enjoy the architecture of an area that is ready to welcome you with open arms. An area nestled in Avellino with an altitude anywhere from 300-800 mt above sea level. Where the vinyards exist together in harmony with the boschi, woods. Where chestnuts and fruit such as peaches, nuts, cherries, and figs live side by side.

Shuttle buses will be ready and waiting at the Avellino-Rocchetta San’Antonio train stations to bring you to Taurasi. Throughout both days in Taurasi’s Castello, you may visit the Regional Enoteca and degustare wines from the area paired with food provided by Terra Madre Campania Slow food della Valle del Calore.
