Irpinia
Irpinia is the historical name for the province of Avellino in the Italian region of Campania. Wines labeled as Irpinia IGT include Bianco and Rosso, which can be produced as a dry table wine or a passito. The wines must be produced from grapes grown in the province of Avellino.

Examples of an Irpinia Bianco IGT would be a white blend containing both Greco and Fiano, as it would not be possible to label this wine as a DOP. There are at least two examples of such wines imported into the US and as the wine is an IGT, it is a bit of a trial wine for the producer; in these cases, the trials have been very successful. An example of an Irpinia IGT would be an Aglianico not aged long enough under DOP regulations. (Wine/Appellations)
