Tenuta Camaldoli is located on the southern slope of the Camaldoli hill and lies entirely within the municipality of Naples.

 

The vineyard covers approximately 3 hectares and extends across several terraces, in one of the highest and most ventilated areas of the Campi Flegrei.

 

Its geographical coordinates are 40°52’14” N and 14°10’28” E, with elevations ranging from 200 to 290 metres above sea level.

 

The terrain slopes gently and is shaped by broad south-facing terraces, providing excellent sun exposure and encouraging the gradual ripening of the grapes.

 

From a geological perspective, the soils have a tuffaceous matrix associated with the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff, formed approximately 15,000–10,000 years ago, overlain by pyroclastic deposits from the most recent Phlegraean eruptions, which occurred between 5,000 and 3,500 years ago. This stratification contributes to the wines’ depth, balance and distinctive sense of place.

 

The vineyard is planted predominantly with Piedirosso. The vines have an average age of approximately thirty years and are trained on vertical trellises, using bilateral Guyot and double *capovolto* pruning systems. The rows, predominantly oriented north–south, are planted at 2.00 × 1.35 metres, with a density of approximately 3,500 vines per hectare.

 

This vineyard is a particularly emblematic example of the relationship between viticulture and the urban landscape. Its direct outlook over the city of Naples offers a striking panorama and provides a tangible expression of Cantine Astroni’s commitment to protecting the land and its natural environment, preserving them from urban expansion through responsible and respectful viticulture.
