The 30 years of the DOP Campagna Flegrei

The Consortium for the Protection of Wines of Campagna Flegrei and Ischia presents the conference for the thirtieth anniversary of the recognition of the DOP for the wines of Campagna Flegrei “From heroic viticulture to the city of wine” which will be held acceso Saturday 23 November 2024, starting from 10 am: 30, at the Salone Ostrichina of the Vanvitelliano del Fusaro Park per Bacoli (NA).

For Michele Farro, president of the Consortium, “The importance of this conference is twofold: not only will we celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Campagna Flegrei PDO, but also Bacoli’s membership of the National Association of Wine Cities. An achievement which is the fruit of a constant commitment towards the valorisation of our wine and cultural heritage”.

“This membership – explains Daniele Marrama, professor of administrative law of food and agroecology at Federico II – has an even deeper meaning, since it plays a fundamental role per wine tourism. Wine has always been a driving force for the development of tourism and the link with the National Association of Wine Cities represents an extraordinary opportunity to increase the influx of tourists per our areas, making known and appreciated not only our wines, but also the traditions, history and culture that accompany them. The integration of Bacoli into this of municipalities is therefore a strategic step to promote sustainable and quality tourism, which combines taste and hospitality and which will be able to generate important economic and cultural effects for our entire territory”.
