Masseria dello sbirro
Masseria dello Sbirro is a farm that develops within the Vesuvius National Park.
It has an extension of about 7 hectares, located on the slopes of the Volcano, divided between the municipalities of Ercolano and Portici.
The cultivations extend over the land crossed by the lava from the 1944 eruption, where, among the small terraces, broom and other essences of the Mediterranean scrub, the plants of Bronte pistachios, a typical crop of the Etna area, have found a natural place.
The characteristics of the Vesuvius terrain, very similar to those of Etna, and the favorable climatic conditions prompted the owners to carry out this experience, which seems to have been perfectly successful.
On less inaccessible lands, where apricot trees and vines have found development in recent decades, maintaining the cultivation of these plants, the development of many small company productions has been privileged compared to a massive production of a single product.
The vineyard has been renovated and the production of wines, currently limited and dedicated to friends, is aimed at making wines such as Caprettone and Catalanesca made from native Vesuvian vines
To date, the main production of the company is represented by the "piennolo tomato of Vesuvius D.o.p.".

“ Two hours crash course of Pompeii ”
Vincenzo was awesome. I had a restricted time, he accommodated me. Gave me a complete understanding of the history and geography of the city in every way. And took me through parts of the Pompeii that was less crowded with tourists to show me most recently discovered artifacts . Highly recommend him.

“ Excellent Kind and Knowledgable Guide ”
Vincenzo met us at the gate early at the start of a very busy day at Pompeii due to a national holiday. We actually were the first to enter the park! He then guided us to new discoveries they have found during the time when covid closed the park as well as all the traditional high points. He was kind and moved us through the crowds with ease and tact to less busy areas and the whole tour was fascinating. I would highly recommend Vincenzo to anyone who wants a more detailed understanding of Pompeii. Nancy Weaver USA
