A Tulip Shaped Glass with a slightly smaller bowl can be suitable for various dry white wine styles. It guides the wine to the center of your mouth, avoiding the sides where acidity is less pleasant. A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold. It also helps if you hold the glass by the stem! |
The region is characterized by diverse landscapes, including coastal plains, hills, and mountains. The volcanic soils, particularly around Mount Vesuvio, contribute to the unique terroir of the vineyards.
The Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters is favorable for grape cultivation.
