The story and serving suggestions
Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOP
Grown among the sands and lapilli of the Santo Spirito vineyard in Somma Vesuviana (approx. 200 m a.s.l.), Era ’79 Rosso interprets Vesuvius with a clear and gastronomic profile. The blend of Piedirosso (80%) and Aglianico (20%) is vinified in steel tanks to preserve fragrance and mineral tension: in the glass, it is a luminous ruby, with notes of geranium, crisp cherry, and black pepper on the nose, with hints of graphite reminiscent of the volcanic soil. The sip is lean but juicy, freshness guides the drink, the tannin is subtle and well-integrated; the finish is clean and savory, almost saline, inviting a second glass.
Recommended pairings
This is a "terroir" red designed for the table: it naturally accompanies Campanian cuisine — Neapolitan ragù and pasta with sauce, eggplant parmesan, sausage and friarielli, roasted white meats, and light grilled dishes. It also works very well with pizza (marinara, margherita, diavola) and with medium-aged cheeses. For a "homestyle" Nero Vesuviano pairing, try the Piennòlo Passata/Pulp with first courses and Friarielli in oil as an appetizer: the wine's mineral vein enhances their character.
Why Nero Vesuviano
A straightforward and contemporary volcanic red: fresh to drink, discreet tannin, and a mineral character that makes it the natural companion for our pantry (Piennòlo, Friarielli) and classic Campanian cuisine.
