A playful and dynamic gesture with a playful, lively and joyful message.
Marameo, the second born in the Volcanalia household, is a “cheeky” wine. Perhaps today it would be classified as a hyperactive “child” but in truth this wine embodies its full gracefulness.
Drink Volcanalia wines with a peace of mind, because their names are intriguing and only those who allow themselves to be led by curiosity can reach unexplored areas of their soul.
So put your thumb on your nose, close quickly the palm of your hand, do the cock a snook sign and nobody will ever catch you … ---
GOD VULCĀNUS
In ancient Roman times,Vulcanalia was the annual festival held every 23 August, at the end of the harvest season, in honor of God Vulcan.
Grape harvesting is the main crop representing VOLCANALIA. Vulcan is the God of the primeval force of fire in its natural element.
Volcanalia Festivals were dedicated to the Roman God Vulcan, known by the Greeks as God Hephaestus.
VOLCANIC LANDS
45 million years back in time, the village of Gambellara was a volcano whose eruptions gave origin to precious volcanic rocks known as basaltic rocks. The basaltic rock, being very friable passes on important minerals to the vines giving them optimal fertility. The color is dark or black.
Volcanic terrain is rich of limestone and soda but poor of potassium.
The old Gambellara vineyards have a special equilibrium thanks to mother nature.
The four hectares of Garganega vines lie harmoniously between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza, in the last layers of the Lessini Mountains at about 300 meters above sea level.
They are arranged in terraces on the edge of a small unspoiled valley above the village of Gambellara.
The dense forest that embraces the vineyards has the great advantage of defending them from any undue contamination.
Volcanalia has the honor of owning the most historic vineyards rising on the black lava soil of Gambellara. Their age requires respectful and manual care. Work in the vineyard takes place without the use of modern machinery, manual work is our great strength. The only neighbors of the vineyard are roe deer, hares and buzzards peeping out of the nearby woods.
