Lava Di Fuoco A.D. 1037 - Igp Campania Primitivo

Lava di Fuoco is a challenge won: bringing the richness of Primitivo to the slopes of the world's most famous volcano. The result is a monumental wine that unites the opulent structure of the grape with the sharp minerality of the lava soil. It is not just a wine; it is a sensory experience that demands patience and dedication.

The Wait for Pleasure

The quality of Lava di Fuoco is sculpted by time. The wine rests for 12 months in oak barriques, where it refines its character and polishes its tannins, followed by an additional 12 months of aging in the bottle. Two years of constant care before it ever reaches your table.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep, almost impenetrable ruby red, with elegant garnet reflections.

• Bouquet: A dense and profound nose. Intense notes of plum jam, marasca cherry in spirit, and dried figs blend with tertiary aromas of cocoa, sweet tobacco, and a hint of black pepper spiced by the wood.

• Palate: Powerful, warm, and of extraordinary structure. Each sip is enveloping, almost "chewable," with silky tannins and an infinite persistence that returns to notes of black fruits and sweet spices.

Ideal Pairings

A wine of this stature demands rich and intense dishes:

• Great Meats: Braised meats cooked in Aglianico (or Primitivo itself), pork shank, or furred game.

• Bold Flavors: Extra-aged cheeses, spicy pecorino, or dishes featuring black truffle.

• Meditation: Perfect for sipping on its own, perhaps by the fireplace, letting yourself be cradled by its complexity.

Why Choose It?

Lava di Fuoco is the meeting point between the warmth of the South and the strength of the volcano. It is the perfect gift for a true connoisseur or the bottle to uncork when celebrating an unforgettable moment.
