The Story Behind the Bottle
Look beyond Italy’s most famous grapes and you’ll find a plethora of unique varieties that produce deliciously fresh white wines. Vesuvium, named after Mount Vesuvius, is a superb example. It’s crafted with Greco di Tufo, one of Italy’s most characterful and underrated white grapes. This crisp, peach-scented wine comes from a small, family-owned winery in the Irpinian hills of Campania near Naples. Here, the region’s climate is ideal for cultivating vines. 500m altitude and cooling sea breezes lock in freshness, while nutrient-starved volcanic soils means yields are low, but flavours are complex. Expect ripe pear and citrus aromas with apple, pear and stone fruit flavours. Pair with Mediterranean vegetables, seafood and light pasta dishes.
