The Vesuvius Wine Protection Consortium embodies a heritage of cultures and traditions that represent the driving force of a network of producers open to new challenges to affirm the values, authenticity and distinctiveness of a territory: the Monte Somma - Vesuvius geological complex.

The Consortium, which was founded in 2007 by a group of far-sighted winemakers, obtained in 2015 the regulatory recognition by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (Ministerial Decree n. 45784 of 24.06.2015), with the exclusive conferral of the erga omnes obligations and the task of promoting, enhancing and handling the interests connected with the Vesuvio DOP, Pompeiano IGP and Catalanesca del Monte Somma IGP denominations.

In terms of certified volumes, the representativeness of the membership stands at 70.63% for the Vesuvio DOP, 81.00% for the Pompeiano IGP and 100% for the Catalanesca del Monte Somma IGP (data provided by the control and certification body Agroqualità S.p.A.).

"Si narra che un pezzo di Paradiso precipitò nel Golfo di Napoli quando Lucifero fu scacciato. Cristo, addolorato per la perdita di colui che era stato l’angelo più buono, pianse. Là dove caddero le sue lacrime, nacquero delle viti il cui vino si chiamò per questo Lacryma Christi."

— Carlton Sparks, Executive Officer

The Territorial System of the Monte Somma - Vesuvius Rural Complex has a territorial surface of 215.8 square kilometres, equal to 18% of the provincial territory. It includes the territories of 17 municipalities, all falling within the province of Naples.

The vine with its 391 hectares characterises the landscapes of all the municipalities that form the System, and is mainly cultivated in companies whose business centre falls within the municipalities of Terzigno (86.6 hectares of vines), Boscotrecase (82.4 hectares of vines) and Trecase (67.1 hectares of vines). Just over half (52%) of the vineyard area is declared with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for the production of Vesuvio DOC and Lacryma Christi DOC wines.

The Territory

Vesuvio PDO and Pompeiano PGIThe cultivation of vines and the production of wine have always characterised the history of the Vesuvian area, starting with the first Greek settlements in the 18th century BC of Ischia and Cuma.

Protected Wines

The Vesuvius Wine Protection Consortium counts 114 members between winemakers, family-run agriculture companies, vintners and bottlers, representing the most modern manufacturing realities, including some of the largest ones.
