IF THE VOLCANIC SOILS OF VESUVIUS GIVE VIGOUR TO THE PIENNOLO, WHAT'S THEIR EFFECT ON THE GRAPEVINE? Vesuvius’ soils drain well and quickly, Maria Paola Sorrentino explained, causing the grape vine’s root system to go very deep to find moisture. This gives the vines of the Vesuvio DOC a stable supply of water over the hot Southern Italian summers. This is particularly relevant on the volcano because Mount Vesuvius is a National Park and viticultural practices are highly regulated to protect its unique biome, including a ban on irrigation.
