Rich and full bodied.

a distinctive white wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Made primarily from Caprettone and Falanghina (or Coda di Volpe in some blends), it boasts a straw-yellow color with golden reflections. The volcanic soil imparts a unique minerality, complemented by aromas of peach, pear, and floral nuances, with hints of exotic fruits like grapefruit and wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and well-structured, offering balanced freshness, fruity richness, and a persistent finish. Its versatility makes it an excellent pairing for seafood, vegetable dishes, and cheeses.

This wine is celebrated for its connection to the ancient Vesuvian terroir and its legend-rich heritage, making it both a flavorful and culturally significant choice.

16.5 / 20 points Jancis Robinson MW
Straw yellow. Peach kernel and garden herbs with the merest suggestion of lees. Subtle and almost neutral on the palate and with gorgeous, lemony acidity sinking into the fruit on the finish. Bitter peach-kernel finish.
