The smoldering power of an ancient yet active volcano, the native roots of rare and unique grapes, and the passion of local talent eager to breathe new life into one of Campania’s most historic wine regions: Dionysus, god of the vine, would be most proud of the team at Cantine Olivella. Here on the slopes of Monte Summa, the oldest part of Vesuvio—the volcano that destroyed Pompeii and continues to rumble, shaking the nerves of the Napolitani—grape growing is an ancient art, the lava-rich, sandy slopes of the volcano providing perfect terroir for native grapes such as Catalanesca and Piedirosso.

A thrilling red blend that brings together three native grapes that thrive on southern Italy’s rich volcanic soils. Piedirosso, with its delicate floral aromas and silky body; Aglianico, with notes of smoke and licorice and muscle; and Olivella, a rare red grape with blueberry notes and tons of saturated ruby color. One sip puts you on a piazza in the center of Naples on a Saturday night with the best slice of pizza you’ve ever had.
