Cantine Olivella Vipt Vesuvio Rosso 2022

Here on the slopes of Monte Summa, the oldest part of Vesuvius near Naples, grape growing is an ancient art, the lava-rich, sandy slopes of the volcano providing perfect terroir for rare, native grapes. ‘Vipt’ is a word play; in Neapolitan dialect, the verb “vippere” means not just to drink, but to drink well and with pleasure. This certainly describes the joy one gets while sipping this pure Piedirosso, full of spice and ruby fruit and so much soul. Delicately aromatic, with hints of smoke as a nod to its volcanic soils; intensely flavorful blue and red fruit amaze.
