Wine SETTEVULCANI – Piedirosso of the Phlegraean Fields doc

The Settevulcani Piedirosso dei Campi Flegrei DOC wine represents the essence of the Campania winemaking tradition, obtained exclusively from Piedirosso grapes grown on the volcanic soils of the Campi Flegrei. These soils of volcanic sand, of pumice and trachytic nature, give the wine a unique complexity and a distinctive character. The 2015 harvest was particularly cared for, starting on October 8 and ending on October 9. The grapes were hand-picked in small 18 kg boxes, after a rigorous selection in the vineyard to ensure maximum quality. With a yield of 80 quintals per hectare, production was limited to 6,600 bottles, bottled on April 20, 2016. One of the special features of this wine is that the vines are grown on ungrafted foot, that is, not grafted on American foot, thus allowing the plants to live on their own roots and best express the characteristics of the territory. The vinification involves destemming and soft pressing of the grapes, followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 22°C. The wine is then aged in steel, to preserve the freshness and integrity of the fruity aromas and mineral notes typical of Piedirosso. Vino Settevulcani stands out for its authenticity, fully reflecting the terroir of Campi Flegrei. It is ideal to accompany traditional Campania dishes, white meats and fresh cheeses, enhancing every meal with its lively personality and balanced aromatic profile.
