The history of the volcano is marked by the eruptions which formed it; that of 1614 is legendary, lasting for ten years, and the longest in reported history. The vines which produce this wine grow on this particular lava flow. A small area contains the Pinot Nero which has been cultivated in this area for centuries, even if sparsely. The result is an absolutely original version of this noble variety.
