SOILS
ROCK, LAPILLI, ROOTS
The soils of Villa Dora tell the geological history of Vesuvius. The vines sink their roots into a terrain made of lava rocks, lapilli, and volcanic stratifications, shaped to make cultivation possible. It is a difficult and generous land, capable of fostering biodiversity, drainage, and mineral character.
Geology becomes wine.
Lava rock
The most solid and profound structure of the terrain.
Lapilli
Lightweight and porous materials that promote drainage.
Biodiversity
Coexistence between vines, olive groves, and other crops.
A TERRITORY THAT SETS THE RULES
Lava rocks, lapilli, and volcanic deposits form naturally draining soils rich in diversity. Each plot presents a specific balance of composition, depth, and exposure, contributing to defining the behavior of the vine and the personality of the wines.
