The red wine Lacryma di Christi del Vesuvio Rosso brings the volcanic power of Mount Vesuvius to the glass. Mastroberardino produces this wine as one of Campania's leading wineries while honoring ancient viticulture and myth. According to local legend Christ wept over paradise's destruction so his tears fell on Vesuvius' slopes to bless the land. The wine derives its authentic Neapolitan winemaking essence from Piedirosso and Aglianico grapes which are native to the region. The wine displays deep ruby red color with violet undertones when poured into a glass. The wine presents strong scents of black cherry and dried herbs and crushed volcanic rock alongside subtle wildflower and smoke notes. The wine presents itself as medium-bodied with soft tannins and bright acidity. The wine presents red plum and raspberry flavors alongside earthy spice notes which are balanced by a refreshing mineral core that stems from volcanic soils. The wine finishes with a smooth and slightly savory character.
