Cantine Olivella Lacryma Christi Del Vesuvio Lacrima Bianco 2022

Here on the slopes of Monte Summa, the oldest part of Vesuvius near Naples, grape growing is an ancient art, the lava-rich, sandy slopes of the volcano providing perfect terroir for rare, native grapes. ‘Olivetta’ is the name of a natural spring within the Vesuvio National Park, the only one in the area — a source of necessary refreshment for both travelers and residents. This ‘Lacrimabianco’ too is a source of necessary refreshment, a silky marriage of two native white grapes: Catalanesca and Caprettone. Medium-bodied and chock-full of apple and pear and citrus fruit.
