Sorrentino Vesuvio Winery
Go and spread the quality of a legendary wine
About the winery
Sorrentino Estate: A Vesuvian Family. On the Mt. Vesuvius slopes, in the little town of Boscotrecase, 300 years ago was born our welcoming cottage where for five generations the roots of our agricultural tradition and Vesuvian wine-making made possible the production of legendary Lacryma Christi Wine. Here, in the heart of Vesuvius National Park, there are our 35 hectares of vineyards which represent an arena where the experience of our ancestor and innovative studies found a fair matching. Anyone could come to visit us our estate and feel part of our family, tasting the vesuvian volcanic soil that shapes our wines and our organic products. It’s a sensitive experience: the terrace where our grandparents used to have a simple lunch, today it’s a modern and welcoming terrace on Sorrento Coast, Capri and Pompeii. An open kitchen KMZERO managed by Mamma Angela, olives trees and fruit- trees are just a frame of our canvas. The Vesuvius is the most natural show admired in the world.

History & Geography
Beginning with our ancestor’s experience in the nineteenth century… the story continues and comes to life with Grandmother Benigna as a young woman determined not to follow the country life lived by her parents, but who, during WWII, rediscovered her passion for nature and for the cultivation of grapevines. Everything began with the management of the property “moggio” where Grandmother conserved all the ungrafted native vine varieties, and many other varieties of fruit and vegetables, today company treasures. Paolo Sorrentino and his wife Angela inherited the family assets and with a lot of love for the production of Vesuvian wines, fruit and vegetable cultivations, they recovered all the varieties conserved by their ancestors. They began an expansion of the wine department in the ’90s undertaking enotourism by opening their doors to tourists and wine lovers, allowing them to taste the history of the territory and its fruits.
