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 Bianco D.O.C. is a very renowned wine in the world. Its taste unmistakable, full bodied, and smooth is made from a carefully selected mix of grapes,“Coda di Volpe” and “Falanghina”, cultivated on the slopes of the volcano.
