Descrizione

The Vesuvio Anfora Rosso DOP of Cantine Olivella is an authentic expression of the Vesuvian territory, where viticulture intertwines with the millenary history of the volcanic soil. The wine is made from indigenous grapes grown on the slopes of Vesuvius, an area renowned for its unique climatic and geological conditions, capable of imparting vigor and complexity to the final product.

The aging in amphora gives this red a harmonious structure and an enveloping texture, enriching the olfactory profile with intense notes of red fruits, sweet spices, and a well-defined mineral hint. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced harmony between freshness and body, supported by soft and integrated tannins.

Perfect to accompany flavorful meat dishes, aged cheeses, and traditional Campanian foods, this wine deeply tells the vitality and soul of Vesuvius, offering an engaging and authentic sensory experience.
