Consorzio Tutela Vini Dei Campi Flegrei

The Consortium for the Protection of the Campi Flegrei Wines, founded on 20th February 2004 by the wine sector of Campi Flegrei, was founded from the desire to ensure and protect the wine tradition of the area and to consolidate and expand the notoriety of local wines and currently accounts for about 90% of production.



It was officially recognized by the Ministry of Agricultural Policies, by decree of 26/04/2005 and published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale of 12/05/2005, No.109.

With the support of the Chamber of Commerce of Naples and the fruitful collaboration with the scientific and university world, topics on techniques of vinification and cultivation of the vine are continually studied.



The Campi Flegrei D.O.C. production, recognized by Ministerial Decree of 3rd October 1994, covers the entire the territories of the municipalities of Procida, Pozzuoli, Bacoli, Monte di Procida and Quarto, and part of those of Marano and Naples.



The Campi Flegrei D.O.C. wines, produced on rich volcanic soil of ash, lapillus, pumice, tuff and trace elements, determine in grapes and wines aromas and flavors that are absolutely delicious.

One of the features that makes the Campi Flegrei D.O.C. unique is the vine plant from which it is derived, called "a piede franco" (ungrafted).



This is an original grape variety, the "Vitis vinifera", not grafted on strains of American grape varieties, remaining unchanged after the attack of phylloxera (Philossera vastatrix) that devastated European vineyards in the second half of the nineteenth century, resulting in an alteration of the ampelographic structure of European viticulture. Vines are still cultivated, today, ungrafted, without rootstock.



It happens right in the Campi Flegrei, where, due to the particular structure of the volcanic soil, insects can not survive, since the grains, loose and rough, prevent larvae from digging paths and tunnels.



Still today, the current method of cultivation, is by layer, planting in the ground the new vine, then separated from the parent plant, allowing to keep unchanged, by a kind of natural gift, the genetic legacy of the original vines.
