Descrizione

The Piedirosso Vesuvio DOP Vipt - Cantine Olivella is born on the slopes of the famous Mount Vesuvius, a territory renowned for its unique minerality and the influence of volcanic terroir on native grape varieties. This wine, made from the Piedirosso grape, presents a bright ruby red color, expressing fruity aromas of cherry and blackberry, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a hint of spice.

On the palate it stands out for its freshness and pleasant softness, with balanced tannins that provide structure without heaviness. The aging in steel enhances aromatic purity and drinkability, keeping alive the characteristic sapidity typical of Vesuvian wines. A perfect companion to dishes based on white meats, fresh cheeses, and Mediterranean preparations, this Piedirosso offers an authentic and satisfying tasting experience, faithfully reflecting the soul of the Vesuvian territory.
