Why drink the wines of volcanoes?

Our guest of the day, the geologist Charles Frankel, questions around the question: "Why drink the wine of volcanoes? Do you even lift

With their rich lands fertile elements in their terrain and microclimates so special that they generate, volcanoes have always made the wine quality soils. 

Today, volcanoes wines are enjoying a renaissance, of the great Neapolitan Lacryma Christi red of Etna, through the fluffy white of the Aeolian Islands or the Cabernets from California. Even France has its volcanic soil, the Puy-de-Dôme, originally superb wines made from Pinot Noir and Gamay. 

Drink the wine of the volcanoes, but also dive into the history of these dormant monsters, remembering the tragic destinies of Santorini, disemboweled by the largest eruption of historic times, or Pompeii, the town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, which had built his fortune on wine. 

Passionate about volcanoes and local specialist, the author brings to life the great eruptions, before taking us to meet those tenants of the extreme, offering for each volcano discovery routes and a list of wineries to visit. (4th book's cover fire Wines Editions Dunod).
