For Fun: La Capranera, located in Campania, focuses on producing organic wine from indigenous grape varieties at an accessible price point. La Capranera, translates to "black goat" in Italian, is named for the breed of goats - cilentana nera - that graze in the national park near where the grapes for these wines are grown. Once on the verge of becoming extinct, the goats have had a resurgence in population, just as wines from Campania have recently enjoyed increased visibility internationally. [Source]
