The name "Lacryma Christi" comes from ancient legends. The most famous one says that Lucifer, falling to hell, took a piece of paradise with him. Jesus saw the stolen paradise in the Gulf of Naples and cried heavy tears. From those tears, the vineyards of Lacryma Christi grew. This wine carries a mythical story, rooted in the fertile slopes of Vesuvius, giving every sip a touch of heavenly memory.
This Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio has a bright straw-yellow color that softly catches the light. Its scent reflects the volcanic soil it comes from: a strong aroma of volcanic rock mixed with the sweet, ripe taste of fruit. It’s a wine that blends the rough beauty of its origin with a tempting freshness, a special balance that invites you to taste it.
On the tongue, this wine feels full and balanced, with an alcohol content of 13%. The minerality of the volcanic ground shines through, paired with a fruity softness that lingers. It’s perfect with appetizers, seafood starters, or grilled fish, where its character lifts the flavors of the sea. Serve it chilled between 10 and 12 °C to let its unique qualities stand out.
