The story
The name derives from the 'dell'Olivella' spring located at the foot of Monte Somma; the area preserves traces of a long winemaking tradition. The current estate was established within the Vesuvian territory and has recovered and restored a historic building that integrates the oldest part of the estate with new facilities dedicated to winemaking and hospitality.
