Paestum
Wine · PGI · 79 municipalities
Recognized since 1999, the Paestum PGI spans 79 municipalities within Campania, including Agropoli and Albanella. Today, 135 verified producers craft wines under this designation, utilizing regional grapes such as Aglianico and Fiano, which must comprise at least 85% of any varietal-labeled bottle. What distinguishes Paestum from neighboring appellations is a strict ban on prestige labeling; the use of terms like riserva, superiore, extra, fine, scelto, and selezionato is explicitly forbidden. For the base red wines, production standards enforce a maximum yield of 14.0 tonnes per hectare and a minimum alcohol content of 10.5% by volume.
