Classic Line
The essence of our land
The Classic line represents a fundamental pillar within Tenuta Sorrentino as it remarkably embodies our company's philosophy. The primary aim of this line is to share our passion and respect for local winemaking traditions and the extraordinary grape varieties that thrive on the fertile soils of Vesuvius with the world.
These wines, part of the Classic line, are the most authentic manifestation of the oenological potential of grapes cultivated in our region. They represent the fundamental expression of what our terroir has to offer, without compromise or artificiality. Each bottle in this line conveys the unique character of Vesuvius, capturing the strength of the land and the warmth of the sun kissing our vineyards.
