Welcome to Episode 2044 of On The Road Special Edition. Stevie Kim takes a deep dive into the wine region of Campi Flegrei. Today, she interviews Gerardo Vernazzaro of Cantine Astroni More about today’s winery:  The ASTRONI WINERY was born in Phlegrean Fields. The winery is located on the outer slopes of the Astroni crater between Naples and Pozzuoli. Once the private hunting grounds for the Bourbons, today it is a State Nature Reserve managed by WWF Italy.   In this corner of a unique land kissed by the sea, inspired by the volcanic fire, and embraced by myths, the ASTRONI WINERY is committed to safeguard, enhance and promote the great enoic heritage handed down by our ancestors. Thanks to a visceral relationship with the land and the support of key enological innovations, the winery produces wines that are able to recount the territory from which they originate in every glass. The focus is mainly on pre phylloxera native vines (ungrafted): Campi Flegrei dop Falanghina and Piedirosso.   Today Astroni Winery’s commitment is increasingly directed towards disseminating and promoting the work, tradition and culture of the territory and man. Over the last several years, the winery has also launched a project to promote the area through art, communication and education.   Connect Website: https://cantineastroni.com/en/winery/  Watch the video on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVmVIeJag9g  More about the host Stevie Kim: Stevie Kim hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!
