TASTING NOTES

Production

Vesuvius Lacryma Christi Cratere Bianco of Astroni rises on the slopes of Vesuvius, in a unique territory for volcanic soils rich in ash, lapilli and minerals, which give the wine a distinct territorial identity. The grapes, with the addition of other native varieties, are harvested manually to preserve their integrity and quality. Winemaking takes place in temperature-controlled steel, with a short maceration on the skins to enhance the aromas and structure. The refinement continues in steel on the fine yeasts, enhancing the freshness, flavour and mineral character of the wine.

Organoleptic Characteristics

It appears to be a bright straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose it is intense and characteristic, with scents of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and yellow flowers, accompanied by evident mineral notes of volcanic ash and flint. On the palate it is fresh and savoury, with good structure, a pleasant softness and a persistent finish that recalls mineral and citrus sensations.

Occasion and Pairing

Wine of great territoriality and versatility, ideal as an aperitif but also perfect for a full meal. It pairs beautifully with fish dishes, seafood, shellfish, delicate first courses and Mediterranean cuisine specialties.

Serving Temperature

To enhance its freshness and mineral identity, a service temperature of 10/12°C is recommended.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Astroni

Cantine Astroni embody the authentic spirit of Campanian winemaking, blending tradition, terroir, and innovation. Located between Naples and the Astroni crater, a natural volcanic reserve, the winery was founded by the Varchetta family with the aim of enhancing the unique potential of the Campi Flegrei area, where vines grow on sandy, mineral-rich volcanic soils. For generations, the family has pursued a vision of mindful viticulture based on environmental respect and the promotion of native grape varieties — first and foremost Falanghina dei Campi Flegrei, along with Piedirosso, Aglianico, and other traditional Campanian cultivars. The vineyards lie on sunlit, breezy slopes overlooking the Gulf of Naples, where the Mediterranean climate and volcanic terrain give the wines freshness, salinity, and a distinctive personality. Cantine Astroni’s philosophy combines oenological expertise with respect for nature: sustainable vineyard practices, spontaneous fermentations, and careful use of technology in the cellar to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Astroni wines tell the story of the truest Campania — with aromas of sea and Mediterranean scrub, vibrant minerality, and the volcanic energy that defines this ancient land. Each bottle expresses the vitality and authenticity of the Campi Flegrei. Producer/distributor name and address: Cantine Astroni - Via Sartania, 48, 80126 Naples (NA), Italy. The cellar products should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.
