DOC zone (also Asprinio di Aversa) for white wine in the Italian region of Campania. The zone includes the municipalities of Aversa, Carinaro, Casal di Principe, Casaluce, Casapesenna, Cesa, Frignano, Gricignano di Aversa, Lusciano, Orta di Atella, Parete, San Cipriano d'Aversa, San Marcellino, Sant'Arpino, Succivo, Teverola, Trentola-Ducenta, Villa di Briano and Villa Literno in the province of Caserta, and the municipalities of Giugliano in Campania, Qualiano and Sant Antimo in the province of Napoli. The wine is made from Asprinio = Greco (to. 85%) and possibly other authorised varieties (max. 15%). The Spumante must be produced 100% varietally pure.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
