An antique Pompeian painting represents the god of wine, Bacchus, who raises up out of the background of Vesuvius; on one side a snake stands out: the Genius Loci. The image is clear and is an hymn of plenty, ideal to be represented on the labels of our bottles. De Falco Wine is a volcanic winery, in the centre of the Vesuvius National Park. With the Vesuvius in its heart. Active, with the lively enthusiasm of its founders. Present, with the great experience of its manager. Warm, with the passion of its loving workers. Natural, with the attention which is paid daily to the surrounding environment. Modern.
