ADEGA DO VULCAO
MAKING WINES ON VOLCANIC SOIL IN THE AZORES
Our history
We are an Italian couple from Firenze who fell in love with The Azores Islands. Together with our parents, we decided to create our winery in 2013. We started a patient recovery of native vines on 2 islands, Pico and Faial, each with a unique terroir. With the help of our family and a professional winemaker, we produce limited quantities of fine wines with a great personality.
Our vineyards
Our Pico vines are planted in the “lajido”, the lava crust formed over centuries. Faial vines are planted on the land where ashes from a volcanic eruption was deposited in 1957. The plots are surrounded by dry-stone walls to protect the vines from the strong ocean winds. We cultivate native grape varieties perfectly adapted to this microclimate, such as Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho and Terrantez do Pico.
Our wines
Our aim is to create wines that are an authentic expression of the land that produces the grapes. That is why we use the most natural methods possible throughout the entire production process. The wines from ou terroir reveal notes of flint and have exceptional minerality. We are delighted that our wines have started to gain international recognition.

PURCHASING WINERY EQUIPMENT TO CREATE NEW CUVÉES
Concrete egg-shaped tank
Wooden vat
Vertical press
Equipment to make exceptional wines
After the successful launch of our wines in multiple countries, we are excited to create new single-varietal white wine cuvées and our first red wine, which will come from a new vineyard where we have re-planted two autochthonous red grapes varieties: Saborinho and Malvarisco.
To produce these exciting new cuvées, we need your help to purchase premium equipment for the vinification and ageing processes.
We work with the best suppliers from Italy to ensure a low intervention winemaking approach, from harvest to ageing and bottling. To ensure the highest quality, we use a vertical press which gently presses our grapes in the most natural way possible. We also want to use concrete-egg tanks and un-toasted wood barrels to let our wines develop in the most harmonious way.
