Cantine Astroni is a winery in Campania, located on the border between Naples and Pozzuoli in the heart of Campi Flegrei on the outer slopes of the crater Astroni – today State Nature Reserve and WWF Oasis. Founded by the will of the Varchetta family, to continue at a high level the best local wine tradition, the company has focused exclusively on native grapes to produce wines with a strong typicality aimed at those who love to search for the territory in the glass.
Cantine Astroni boasts the passion and experience of four generations, and over a century of dedication to wine, as well as the strength of a modern wine culture that respects tradition looking to the future.
In 1891 Vincenzo Varchetta decided that it was necessary to increase his activity, it was time to transform what was an ancient pleasure, the art of making wine, in a thriving commercial activity, but only with the hard work of his son Giovanni, who returned from World War II, that conviction became reality.
Don Giovanni, an expert of every vineyard in Campania, handed down all his passion and experience to his children and grandchildren, who in 1999 with the founding of Cantine Astroni continued to pursue a project of fully exploiting of Campania’s ampelography, offering an oenology of strong traditions enriched by modern techniques of cultivation and winemaking.
