Mastroberardino Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso 2025

This is a red wine from Campania, made by Mastroberardino under the Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio denomination. It is a single-variety wine, vinified in steel and rested in bottle for a few months before release. The vineyards lie on the slopes of Vesuvius, and the volcano's influence gives the soil its mineral richness. The wine is an intense ruby red, with cherry and plum aromas joined by peppery, clove-like spice. On the palate it is warm, full-bodied and soft, with very fine tannins. Fruity notes return before a finish of good persistence. It suits savoury pasta or polenta with meat sauces, and richer red meat dishes.
