The Lacryma Christi del Vesuvius is then great classic of Campania viticulture, a dry still wine produced on "free foot" therefore plants not grafted on American roots, at the foot of the volcano where the phylloxera parasite does not attack the vines and the vineyards can produce freely without running the risk of being destroyed. Munazei is a traditional version obtained from 100% Piedirosso grapes whose grapes are selected manually, then destemmed and cryomacerated for up to 72 hours. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, refinement is in steel for a period of 6 months.
When poured, it shows a splendid ruby red color with violet reflections. The olfactory profile is intense and floral punctuated by clear aromas of violets and wild flowers, with a fragrant spicy note of black pepper and flint. The sip is elegant, balanced and juicy, with a very pleasant long and savory finish.
It is recommended to combine it with red meats, cured meats and aged cheeses.
