Volcanic soils make interesting wines, and many of Campania's famous terroirs are of volcanic origin. Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano just east of Naples, and the organically farmed vineyards of Villa Dora are on the lower southern slopes of the volcano, inside the national park that surrounds it.
Piedirosso is found all around the Bay of Naples, sometimes blended with Aglianico, sometimes unblended, as here. It is named after the red stalks of the ripe bunches, which are said to resemble the red feet of pigeons. The wine is made with a very short maceration, just a few days, followed by aging for about a year and a half in stainless steel. Fermentation is carried out using selected yeasts.
