Story πŸ“– On the western edge of Naples lies the Campi Flegrei an ancient volcanic landscape of craters, steam vents and dramatic slopes that tumble toward the Tyrrhenian Sea. This is where Raffaelle Moccia farms some of the most singular vineyards in Italy. His family has tended terraces in the crater of Agnano for generations and many of his vines are between sixty and two hundred years old planted on their own roots in volcanic ash sand and basalt.Β
