Viticulture, Science, and Innovation: First Public Meeting at the Eremo di San Vitaliano in Casertavecchia on the Important Research Project for the Viticultural Zoning of Alta Campania

July 17, 2025 (Casertavecchia, Italy) — A strategic project for the future of the wine sector in Alta Campania: on Friday, July 18 at 6:00 PM, the Eremo di San Vitaliano in Casertavecchia will host the first public meeting dedicated to the important research project for the viticultural zoning of Alta Campania, carried out in collaboration between the University of Naples Federico II – Department of Enology in Avellino and the Wine Route of Casavecchia di Pontelatone and Alta Campania. The project involves institutions, research bodies, producers, and industry professionals, as part of a broader path aimed at giving the viticulture of Alta Campania a leading role in the regional and national wine scene through a scientific and innovative approach.

At the heart of the initiative is viticultural zoning: a key tool for deeply understanding the pedoclimatic and agronomic characteristics of the territory, enhancing its potential, and guiding production practices toward high-quality, sustainable, and identity-driven viticulture. The research, which will continue for another three years, will culminate in the publication of a volume on the history and zoning of Alta Campania, based on the contributions and studies presented.

The chosen venue for the event is no coincidence: the Eremo di San Vitaliano, an ancient spiritual site nestled in the woods of Casola di Casertavecchia, is rich in history and tranquility—a symbolic place of reflection, research, and local roots, dedicated to San Vitaliano, bishop of ancient Capua.
