Bosco de Medici takes its name from the Florentine Medici’s, after a branch of the family moved to Pompei in 1567 and became instrumental in improving the regions viticulture. After selling their grapes for two decades, the Palomba and Monaco families launched their own wines in 2014.

The vineyards, many of them planted with ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines, are divided into various plots, located in the municipalities of Terzigno, Boscoreale and Pompei. The volcanic soil is rich in minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium and potassium and the vineyards are planted exclusively with local grape varieties of Capprettone, Falanghina, Piedirosso and Aglianico.
