For thousands of years, the moon has been the muse of poems, verses, songs and who knows what else, admiring it is a way of experiencing emotions, desires and dreams. With its variations, its mystical beauty, it acts as a bridge between the earthly and the divine, between reality and illusion, a celestial body lying on a turquoise sea at the foot of Vesuvius.
The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in previously sanitised plastic crates. A maximum of 15 kg of grapes is placed in each crate to prevent the grapes from being naturally crushed during transport. A bag containing dry ice is placed on top of each box to keep the grapes at a temperature that prevents premature and uncontrolled fermentation. Once in the winery, the grapes are processed in a grape crusher, this process allows us to separate the stems from the grapes and to crush them, after this phase the destemmed grapes are placed in steel silos, where fermentation at a controlled temperature of 24/26° lasts for about 8/10 days after fermentation the must is placed in maturation tanks to then be processed and bottled.

Cantina Le Lune del Vesuvio is a true gem of the Campania region, nestled in the picturesque hilly area of the Vesuvius National Park at an altitude of approximately 400 meters.
This family-owned agricultural and transformation company covers about one hectare of land, offering a stunning panorama that includes the wonders of the ancient Pompeii ruins, the island of Capri, and the Gulf of Naples. The productive activities, including viticulture, fruit cultivation, and horticulture (with a focus on the Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio and seasonal vegetables), are carried out on typical terraces using conventional agricultural methods.
In the adjacent cellar, grapes harvested from the company's vineyards contribute to the production of the renowned Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio wine.
