Vulcaia is more than just a wine – it is Stefano Inama's bold vision from 1991, which aimed to demonstrate the potential of the Soave Classico region not through its classic Garganega, but through a revolutionary interpretation of Sauvignon Bianco. The name Vulcaia refers to the volcanic basalt soils of Monte Foscarino, which give this French grape variety a completely new identity. The vineyards at the foot of the mountain benefit from a unique geological constellation: this is where the basaltic lava soils – formed 30 million years ago – meet a microclimate that "domesticates" the Sauvignon and transforms its typical notes in favour of a territorial character. The volcanic terroir with its iron-rich volcanic rock formations gives the grapes a mineral complexity that is unrivalled in other growing regions.

Vulcaia presents itself as an intense straw-yellow wine whose bouquet immediately reveals its territorial character: Citrus flavours and fragrant flowers blend with mineral notes that are barely reminiscent of the typical Sauvignon characteristics. The palate reveals an elegant wine with a mineral character, refreshing citrus notes and exotic fruit flavours. The long, persistent final confirms the uniqueness of this terroir expression – a Sauvignon Bianco that proves that the terroir is stronger than the grape variety and that Inama's visionary idea from 1991 is still valid today.
