The story and serving suggestions
Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOP
From the vineyards between Monte Somma and Vesuvius, in the heart of the Vesuvius National Park, comes a white wine that tells the brightest and most Mediterranean side of the territory. Soils of sand and lapilli, sea breezes and temperature variations give a fragrant and mineral profile: white-fleshed fruit (pear, peach), citrus zest (lime, cedar), Mediterranean herbs (thyme, marjoram) and a floral hint reminiscent of broom flower. On the palate, it is juicy and fresh, smooth but with a saline core that extends its length; the acidity is fine, the body is lean and the volcanic echo returns in the clean and savory finish, with hints of citrus and almond. A clean and inviting sip, designed for a second glass.
Recommended pairings
Perfect with raw and marinated dishes — amberjack or tuna tartare, anchovies with lemon, sea bass carpaccio, and even oysters — where the wine's citrus freshness cleanses the palate and invites another sip. It also works great with fried seafood (mixed fried fish, battered cod) thanks to its saline trail. For first courses, it prefers clear flavors: spaghetti with clams, linguine with Piennòlo tomatoes, or citrus and shrimp risotto. With main courses, it excels with cod and stockfish, and with all grilled bluefish (mackerel, bonito, anchovies), where the mineral component enhances the iodized-smoky part. Also excellent alongside buffalo mozzarella, fresh provola cheese and seasonal vegetables — zucchini alla scapece, seafood salads, light grilled dishes — and with white pizza.
Why Nero Vesuviano
Lacryma Christi Bianca is a Caprettone–Falanghina blend that combines freshness and volcanic minerality: it adheres to our manifesto "Mineral. Elegant. Gourmet.", and is the natural companion for our Preserves (Piennòlo, friarielli, creams).
