WHY CHOOSE US
Why our wines are different
A family winery in the heart of Vesuvius National Park, in Boscotrecase: 35 hectares of native grapes, certified organic since 2001. Four reasons to bring our wines to your market.
VOLCANIC WINES
Volcanic wines of Mount Vesuvius
“In our vineyards located on the southwest slope, the abundance of lava flows has enriched the soil, making it fertile, porous, and well-drained.” At Vigna Lapillo, at 500 m, lapilli and lava flows increase the minerals.
Volcanic sandy soil · Lapilli and lava flows · Minerality · Vineyards from about 200 to 600 m a.s.l.
NATIVE GRAPES OF MOUNT VESUVIUS

Organic and sustainable, in practice
“Since 1990, we've been moving towards a more sustainable approach, and our wines have been certified organic since 2001.”
Biodiversity: olive, apricot and fig trees, organic honey · Water: rainwater harvesting, unirrigated vines · Solar energy in the winery · Lighter bottles, biodegradable packaging · Soil: cover crops, no herbicides · Natural yeasts
THE VESUVIUS · THE STORY
Vesuvius, Pompeii and the family
The eruption of 79 AD that buried Pompeii also created one of the most fertile soils in the world. Here the Sorrentino family's story is rooted in the 1800s and is carried on today by the third generation: Giuseppe, Benny and Maria Paola.
