Tenuta Jossa

Campi Flefrei dop bianco – CRU

Tenuta Jossa is the newest addition to the Astroni family and represents a mature synthesis of the viticultural and agronomic journey developed over the past twenty years. A project in which experience, research and sensitivity to the territory find their fullest expression.

 

The vineyard lies within the Metropolitan Park of the Hills of Naples, in a setting of remarkable environmental and landscape significance. The white grape section of the vineyard is planted predominantly with Falanghina, complemented by Fiano, a variety that broadens the wine’s aromatic profile and adds complexity.

 

The result is a white wine with a strong identity, offering a contemporary interpretation of the volcanic character of the Campi Flegrei, defined by precision, tension and depth.

Organoleptic characteristics​​​​

Clear and consistent, with a straw-yellow colour and subtle greenish highlights. On the nose, it reveals a distinctive and terroir-driven profile, with notes of citron, beeswax and tomato leaf, accompanied by a chalky minerality that evolves towards smoky nuances. On the palate, it is sharp and dynamic, characterised by pronounced saline tension that enhances its drinkability and immediately invites another sip.

The Estates

Tenuta Jossa

Approximately 3 hectares

 

GRAPE VARIETIES: Piedirosso, Sciascinoso, Falanghina, Fiano

The Vigna Jossa project began in 2012. 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 Grapes

Falanghina Campi Flegrei

Falanghina probably originates from ancient Greek-Balkan grape varieties and appears to owe its name to its naturally spreading growth habit. Traditionally, the vines were tied to supporting poles known as “falanga”, hence the name Falanghina, meaning “vine supported by poles”. The variety has medium-sized, long and compact cylindrical bunches, typically winged on one side. The berries are medium-sized and spherical, with thick skins covered by a moderate bloom and displaying greyish tones with yellow highlights. Falanghina is a fairly vigorous variety, with consistent, moderate yields. Harvest generally begins from the third week of September onwards.

Design and Visual Identity

The Language of the Labels

Cantine Astroni’s youngest vineyard, where the viticultural experience gained over time meets a new expression of the territory. The name pays tribute to the Jossa family, the estate’s former owners of Spanish origin, reflecting the historical layers that have shaped the Campi Flegrei. With the Campi Flegrei denomination, the territory itself becomes the true protagonist of the wine. The label portrays this landscape: a vineyard opening towards the sea, with views extending to Capri and Ischia, in the heart of the Mediterranean.
