The still wines of the Anima Lavica line are produced from vineyards cultivated on the outcrops of volcanic rocks that arrived in the Apennines from far away: this is the grey tuff that erupted from the Phlegraean volcanoes more than thirty thousand years ago, in the terrible eruption of the Campanian ignimbrite.
The burning clouds rose up the valleys for a hundred kilometers, settling among the gentle hills of the Calore valley. The presence in the Telesina Valley of a terroir that is entirely volcanic is surprising, made up of plateaus and suspended basins, with sandy, glassy soils that crackle when walked on, of a characteristic dark grey color, crumbly and easy to work, extremely permeable, in a temperate environmental context, evidently very different from that of the coastal volcanoes of origin, characterized by the contrasts of the Mediterranean climate. The mineralogical complex of these soils gives them particular nutritional qualities in an entirely unique interaction with the vine. The result is that the wines are an absolute surprise to the senses, a concentration of flavor and freshness. The complexity that this singular terroir confers is clearly reflected in the minerality of the wines and their elegant aromas.
