The Vigna Jossa project began in 2012 with the acquisition of an estate covering approximately 3 hectares.

 

This vineyard represents a mature synthesis of the viticultural and agronomic experience developed by Cantine Astroni over the past twenty years, applied to a site of particular complexity and expressive potential.

 

The vineyard area is equally divided between white and red grape varieties. Its geographical coordinates are 40°52’06.9” N – 14°10’11.3” E. In the highest part of the estate, at approximately 243 metres above sea level and benefiting from the most favourable exposure, there are four vineyard terraces: three planted with Piedirosso and a smaller one dedicated to Sciascinoso.

 

The vines originate from the estate’s own massal selection. The rows are oriented south–south-west, with a planting layout of 1.35 × 1.80 metres and trained using the double *capovolto* system.

 

Further downhill, from approximately 220 metres above sea level, six terraces are dedicated to white grape varieties, predominantly Falanghina, with one parcel planted with Fiano, also originating from massal selection. The terraces descend to approximately 200 metres above sea level. In this area, the rows are oriented north–south and trained using a unilateral Guyot system, with a planting layout of 0.90 × 1.70 metres.

 

The soils of this hillside area are the result of a complex pedogenetic evolution, characterised by layers of pyroclastic deposits from past volcanic eruptions over a yellow tuff substrate. The vineyards grow on terraces with sandy soils rich in pumice and tuff, within the Metropolitan Park of the Hills of Naples, a setting that further enhances the estate’s environmental and landscape significance.
