TASTING NOTES

Production

Astroni’s Vesuvio Lacryma Christi Cratere Bianco is produced on the slopes of Vesuvius, in a unique terroir characterised by volcanic soils rich in ash, lapilli and minerals, which give the wine a distinct territorial identity. The grapes, supplemented by other indigenous varieties, are harvested by hand to preserve their integrity and quality. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a brief maceration on the skins to enhance the aromas and structure. Ageing continues in stainless steel on the fine lees, enhancing the wine’s freshness, savouriness and mineral character. 100 ml: 322 kJ/77 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

Visually, it is a bright straw-yellow colour with golden highlights. On the nose, it is intense and distinctive, with aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and yellow flowers, accompanied by pronounced mineral notes of volcanic ash and flint. On the palate, it is fresh and savoury, with good structure, a pleasant smoothness and a lingering finish that evokes mineral and citrus notes.

Occasion and Pairing

A wine of great territorial character and versatility, ideal as an aperitif but also perfect throughout a meal. It pairs beautifully with fish dishes, seafood, shellfish, delicate pasta dishes and Mediterranean specialities.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 10–12°C.

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.
