Territory and wine style

The Ischia Per’e Palummo DOC designation enhances a grape variety that is a symbol of Campania and an area suited for quality viticulture. The grapes for the Tenuta Monte Zunta 2021 Per’e Palummo DOC come from S. Angelo, in the Monte Zunta area, at about 450 meters above sea level, in a vineyard described as heroic due to its limited accessibility and particularly challenging working conditions. Manual harvesting and the choice of careful maturation contribute to defining a wine with character, good concentration, and a balance that unites energy and finesse. Aging in French oak barrels for 18 months adds complexity and a broader structure, without altering the identity of the territory.
