Cantine Matrone 'Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio' Rosso 2022 | Campania, Italy

A dry and flavoursome red wine from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius!

Producer: Cantine Matrone

Region: Boscotrecase, Napoli, Campania, Italy

Grapes: Piedirosso and Aglianico

Loads of plum and darker fruits alongside Mediterranean herbs and flinty earth.

Fresh on the palate, medium bodied, with a good core of acidity helps keep everything alive. Tastes like a wine from Campania!

Nerd Notes: 

Lacryma Christi Rosso is mainly produced from Piedirosso grapes, and the remaining percentage from Aglianico local varieties.

Piedirosso is distributed over three vineyards located at 30 – 120 – 200 meters above sea level and Aglianico are grown exclusively at 30 meters above sea level.

Estate grown with organic viticulture. Minimal added sulphur.
