Cantine Olivella - 'Lacrimanero' Vesuvio Lacryma Christi Rosso (750ML)

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. A thrilling red blend that brings together three native grapes that thrive on southern Italy’s rich volcanic soils. Piedirosso, with its delicate floral aromas and silky body; Aglianico, with notes of smoke and licorice and muscle; and Olivella, a rare red grape with blueberry notes and tons of saturated ruby color. One sip puts you on a piazza in the center of Naples on a Saturday night!

Pairing 
Great wine to have with red meats in particular braised and roasted meats, game, stews and semi-hard cheeses

Tasting Notes 

Nose: Floral notes from Piedirosso, with smoke, licorice, and subtle blueberry from Aglianico and Olivella.

Palate: Silky and medium-bodied, blending dark berries, licorice, and a touch of smokiness with smooth texture and bright acidity.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering fruit and earthy minerality, reflecting the volcanic terroir.
