 Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio - Protected Area
Volcanism in the Somma-Vesuvio area has been active since 400.000 years ago, as it is demonstrated by the presence of lava and tufa alternating with marine sediments, cored in the south-eastern part of the volcano at 1350 m of depth (Santacroce, 1987; Brocchini et al.,2001).
Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio was established on 5th June 1995 with the aim to preserve animal and vegetal species, vegetal and forest associations, geological peculiarities, palaeontological formations, biological communities, biotopes, scenic and panoramic values, natural processes, hydraulic and hydrogeological balances, and ecological balances.
Therefore, Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio represents an anomaly among the European Natural Parks, a sort of challenge aimed to rescue the wilderness and the charm of Vesuvius and Mt. Somma from deterioration and giving them back to the current and future generations they belong to.

 Quinta do Vesuvio - Reviews
Although the 2003 Vesuvio should easily surpass five decades, it also is very enjoyable and approachable now, if given time to breathe properly.
“Vesuvio is a vast, conical hill in the Douro Superior, and it grew a vast, structured wine in 2000…It fills the mouth with joy, the sweetness growing right out of the tannins…The perfect condition of the tannins allow the wine to balance high and tight between sweetness and structure.
Here the structure is used to full advantage, layers of complex fruit flavours crowd the palate, the finish is long and light, this is a wine of grace and power”.
