Verona is the only area across Europe where the aromatic Flue Cured Virgina is grown, due to its excellent quality and the particular soil and weather factors, namely:

• the physical-chemical structure of the soil and the subsoil,
• the constant availability of irrigating water,
• a hot-humid micro-climate, comparable to a subtropical environment.

In addition to environmental factors, a paramount role is played by the farming traditions which have been maintained and developed in a entrepreneurial perspective by our farmers.
This also applies to Flue Cured Virginia from the upper Valle Tiberina, universally considered as the best filler considered as the best Italian filler.

Burley from Caserta area is appreciated for its high filling potential and it is in high demand for American-type blends.
