Label / history
The name Vulcanico emphasizes the Falanghina vineyards’ location on the slopes of Monte Vulture. It connects the freshness, fragrance and aromatic finesse associated with the hills to the warmer, more generous character attributed to southern Italy. Production avoids animal-derived products and allergens; packaging uses FSC-certified organic corks and label paper, together with recycled-paper cartons.
