Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco (Claudia) – White Wine
A white wine well known and respected throughout the world, it draws its name to the legend of Christ’s tears on the day of his ascension while watching the beauty of the Gulf of Naples. The color is a pale straw and its delicate bouquet is reminiscent of fruits such as pear and banana but also reminiscent of honey and broom. The taste is dry, fresh, ample and elegant.
