This area is able to delivery some of the highest temperature of the volcano’ slopes on a dark soil extremely rich of “lapillus” rocks. The soil here is called “Ellittico”, as the name of the volcano (dated 15.000-6.000 years ago) this surface belongs to, actually the oldest existing where we can cultivate vineyards. The sun exposure is excellent, facing a little to west and the east-west direction of the slope is perfect for the fresh air breathing from the seaside (east) to the mainland (west).
