LACRYMA CHRISTI ROSE' WINE FROM VESUVIUS D.O.C. 75cl - VINICOLA SANNINO

According to the legend, the name of the “Lacryma Christi” wine comes from the tears shed by Jesus when it is said that Lucifer stole a little piece of Paradise and forged the Gulf of Naples. Therefore Jesus’ tears made the land so precious and a perfect place for great noble vines. The “Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio rosato”, is made from the fermentation in bianco of the “Aglianico” and “Piedirosso” grapes, cultivated on the slopes of the Vesuvius. Its aroma is intense and satisfying; its fragrance recalls brooms and orange blossoms. The wine enhances a dry and harmonic taste and it smells intensely and enjoyably.
