In the hills north of Naples lies Sannio, these hills straddle the surrounding appellations of Benevento and Avellino in Campania. Sannio is an area of Campania almost unknown to most people (but makes up 45% of Campania's total wine production) and off the typical tourist trails. Although located at just 45 miles from Naples, Sannio is quite different from the Campania stereotypes as to culture, climate and morphology: a rural land with vineyards and olive groves extending as far as the eye can see. Standing at the Apennines’ foot, it borders Campania, Apulia and Molise. Vines migrated from Greece, spread over the whole Magna Graecia area and therefore also in Campania. Wine produced in this area was the most widely drunk in Rome coming through Pompeii market until the fatal eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, that obliterated Pompeii and put an end to its worldwide trades They farm a total of 12 hectares of vines and 5 hectares of olive trees.
