Description
Mastroberardino Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso is a legendary Italian red born on the lava-rich slopes overlooking the Bay of Naples. Crafted primarily from Piedirosso blended with a touch of Aglianico, this 750mL bottle captures the soul of Campania’s volcanic soils and the centuries-old expertise of the Mastroberardino family. In the glass, it shows a brilliant ruby hue rimmed with garnet. Lifted aromas of wild cherry, crunchy pomegranate, and dried rose petals mingle with smoky minerals that recall warm volcanic stones. The palate is medium-bodied yet vibrant, layering juicy plum, red currant, and blood orange zest over savory notes of black pepper, cocoa, and Mediterranean herbs. Lively acidity and fine, chalky tannins carry the flavors to a long, slightly saline finish that begs for another sip.
Versatile at the table, Lacryma Christi matches beautifully with Margherita pizza, penne all’arrabbiata, grilled sausage, or herb-roasted chicken, and it shines slightly chilled alongside seafood stew in true Neapolitan fashion. Add a personalized wine gift box or custom bottle engraving from Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant to turn this storied wine into a memorable present.
