TASTING NOTES

Production

Vesuvius Lacryma Christi Red Crater of Astroni is born on the slopes of Vesuvius, in vineyards cultivated on volcanic soils rich in minerals and lapilli, which give the wine structure, finesse and great territorial identity. The grapes, mainly Piedirosso with a supply of Aglianico, are harvested manually at full ripeness to preserve their quality and integrity. Winemaking takes place in temperature-controlled steel, with calibrated macerations to extract color, aromas, and soft tannins. The refinement continues in steel on the fine yeasts, enhancing freshness, flavour and the fruity and mineral character typical of the Vesuvian area.

Organoleptic Characteristics

It appears bright ruby red with purple highlights. On the nose it offers elegant scents 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 and silky tannins, good structure and a long and pleasant persistence, in which the fruity and mineral sensations perceived by the smell return.

Occasion and Pairing

Wine of character and territoriality, ideal to accompany the entire meal or for convivial moments. It pairs perfectly with red and white meat dishes, roasts, stews, gourmet pizza, Mediterranean cuisine preparations and medium-aged cheeses.

Serving Temperature

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.
