Just north of Naples, right on the coast of Campania, there is a very small grapegrowing area called the Campi Flegrei. The soil is so sandy here that the vines can be planted directly in it, without being grafted to other rootstock. Perhaps it is this very unusual fact that makes these wines so distinctive, along with the great care given to the vines and the wine by Luigi di Meo and his family. The Vigna Madre is a certified Historical Vineyard in the Campi Flegrei area, hosting a plot of very old Piedirosso vines. This advanced age comes with a decrease in yield, but an incredible boast of concentration and flavor. Bright red in color, fresh and fragrant on the nose; shows notes of Morello Cherry and plum, cinnamon and herbs. Serve it with salmon, pork, substantial pasta dishes.
