The wines of Vesuvio have a long and storied history, but local specialties like the dramatically named Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, “Christ’s Tears on Vesuvius,” have fallen into relative obscurity in recent decades. This wine made of pure Caprettone - a lesser-known, local variety - is crafted and aged like the Falanghina, with six months in stainless steel on its lees (aka native yeast) that gives the wine a distinct nuttiness).
A bit smoky, with a gorgeous volcanic purity, this wine is like a medley of grilled white peach and citrus. A distinct salinity and refreshing acidity keep this wine crisp against the juiciness.
