TERROIR
The wines of the Anima Lavica line are produced from vineyards cultivated on the outcrops of volcanic rocks that arrived in the Apennines from afar: this is the grey tuff that burst from the Phlegraean volcanoes more than thirty thousand years ago, in the tremendous Cam- pania Ignimbrite eruption. The fiery clouds ascended the valleys for a hundred kilometres, settling among the gentle hills of the Calore Valley. There is a surprising presence in the Telesina Valley of a terroir that is completely volcanic, made up of plateaus and suspended basins, with sandy, glassy soils that crackle when you step on them, with a characteristic dark grey colour, friable and easy to work, extremely permeable, in a temperate environmental context, clear- ly very different from that of the coastal volcanoes of origin, characterised by the contrasts of the Mediterra- nean climate. The mineralogical composition of these soils gives them particular nutritional qualities in a unique interaction with the vine. The result is that the wines are an absolute surprise to the senses, a distilla- tion of flavour and freshness. The complexity that this unique terroir provides is clearly reflected in the min- erality of the wines and their elegant bouquet.
