The Mastroberardino family, leaders in Italian viticulture, are largely responsible for the revival and elevation of Irpinian and Campanian winemaking post WWII. Legend has it that God cried when he found a corner of heaven, above the gulf of Naples, stolen by Lucifer. Where his divine tears fell, the vines of Lacryma Christi were born. The history of the vines is as colorful as its legend. This white is made of 100% Coda di Volpe from vineyards sitting below Mt. Vesuvius – mineral-rich volcanic ash soils embedded with small rock fragments. Produced entirely in stainless steel tank, the wine shows aromas of pear, apple and citrus and a palate of white peach with hints of licorice. Medium-bodied with balanced acidity, it is ideal for pairing with foods: think fresh or friend seafoods, creamy pasta or risotto dishes!
