Iovine
Iovine produces wines from Campania, the volcanic region of southern Italy that slopes toward Mount Vesuvius. The winery works with indigenous grapes suited to this demanding terrain: Piedirosso, a dark-skinned variety native to the area, and white grapes including Greco, Falanghina, and Caprettone. The Piedirosso Pompeiano expresses the red volcanic soils in concentrated form. The Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio wines—both the white blend and the red of Aglianico and Piedirosso—draw from one of Italy's most storied appellations, where mineral-driven character and structural tension define the style. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated Iovine's portfolio, recognizing the precision and terroir-driven focus that characterize Campanian winemaking at its best.
