Territory and wine style

The designation Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC Bianco tells the story of one of the most evocative areas of Italian viticulture, where the volcanic soil contributes to giving energy and personality to the wine. In this case, the presence of ash and lapilli, combined with the blend of two traditional Campanian grape varieties, creates a clear, savory, and harmonious style. Manual harvesting and selection in the vineyard highlight a quality-oriented approach, while vinification in steel maintains a fresh and clean profile. The aging on fine lees adds complexity and volume without weighing down the sip.
