THE TERRITORY

Terraces on rock slopes

The island of Capri is a geological singularity in the Gulf of Naples. Given its non-volcanic, but limestone and dolomitic origin, it is to be considered an integral part of the Southern Apennines. Therefore, it combines mountain features with the obviously proper ones of a Mediterranean island. On the cliffs of the north-east side of the island, over the last two centuries, our family has created terraces with stone walls on which our grapes grow.

“Scala Fenicia is the latest company that opposes the abandonment of vineyards and continues to produce doc wine on the VIP island. Preserving tradition and territory ”
