Cultivations
 Latitude, sea, volcanic origins
and the warm and shining sun, make of Phlegraean Fields a fertile land perfect
to cultivate.
Particularly, thanks to numerous
eruptions through the centuries, the ground is rich of ashes, tufa pumices and
many other microelements that give particular taste and perfumes to the fruits
of these lands.
Phlegraean hills (Scalandrone,
Reginella, Gerolomini, Monte di Procida) are characterized by a landscape made
of grape rows, with perfumed, sweet and crisp fruits.
The most important are Falanghina
and Piedirosso.
Wine
Falanghina name comes from its
original technique of production - the grape plant grows near a stake, whose name
in Latin was: falange.
Piedirosso, instead, takes its
name from vine-leaves and little branches colour, as red as pigeons claws: a deep,
intense red.
