2022 De Falco Lacryma Christi Rosso del Vesuvio

The 2022 De Falco Lacryma Christi Rosso del Vesuvio is a classic Campanian red blend of predominantly Piedirosso with a touch of Aglianico, grown on the mineral-rich volcanic soils of Mount Vesuvius, which give the wine its distinctive character and freshness. It shows a deep ruby color and opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, blackberry, and subtle cocoa, layered with hints of earth, spice, and a light smoky edge typical of the terroir.

On the palate it is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with lively acidity, soft but present tannins, and a core of juicy red and dark fruit framed by a savory mineral note.

The finish is smooth, slightly rustic, and food-friendly, making it an excellent match for pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, and traditional Neapolitan dishes.
