TASTING NOTES

Production

Astroni’s Vesuvio Lacryma Christi Cratere Rosso is born on the slopes of Vesuvius, in vineyards cultivated on volcanic soils rich in minerals and lapilli, which lend the wine structure, finesse and a strong sense of place. The grapes, predominantly Piedirosso with a touch of Aglianico, are harvested by hand at full ripeness to preserve their quality and integrity. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with carefully calibrated maceration to extract colour, aromas and soft tannins. Ageing continues in stainless steel on the fine lees, enhancing the freshness, savouriness and the fruity, mineral character typical of the Vesuvian terroir. 100 ml: 341 kJ/82 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

On the nose, it offers elegant aromas of red and black fruits, cherry, raspberry and plum, accompanied by notes of sweet spices, Mediterranean herbs and delicate mineral nuances. On the palate, it is harmonious and fresh, with soft, silky tannins, good structure and a long, pleasant finish, in which the fruity and mineral sensations perceived on the nose return.

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.
