Description

According to the legend, the name of the “Lacryma Christi” wine comes from the tears shed by Jesus when it is said that Lucifer stole a little piece of Paradise and forged the Gulf of Naples. Therefore Jesus’ tears made the land so precious and a perfect place for great noble vines. The “Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Red” is a great quality wine; it is made from “Piedirosso” and “Aglianico” vines, cultivated on the slopes of the volcano. Its ruby-red colour shows violet reflections and its aroma recalls violets and sweet violets, with further hints of liquorice and fine woods. It has a gratifying taste, a full body and smoothness.

  2. Luciano

    Ho avuto modo di provarlo a cena con amici. E’ piaciuto immediatamente a tutti

  3. Francesco Parisi (verified owner)

    Vino eccezionale con una storia radicata nel tempo e nel luogo di origine. Sicuramente un’eccellenza campana con il fregio del DOC. Di colore rosso rubino, talmente vivace e prorompente per cui sembra venuto fuori dal Vesuvio stesso con profumi gradevoli, profuma di frutta rossa e talvolta di spezie. Anche la spedizione è stata perfetta. Consigliatissimo. Da provare!
