The 2014 Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco opens to pretty notes of candied fruit with some pineapple and yellow peach at the back. Mastroberardino buys Coda di Volpe grapes on Vesuvius to make this wine and the winemaker tells me that 2014 was not an especially bad year on the volcano thanks to the loose, gravely soils that allowed for good drainage of humidity and rain. The wine is smooth on the palate with moderate acidity.

This light-bodied white is creamy and balanced, with a subtle mix of salted almond, dried apricot, pastry and smoke notes. Drink now. 6,000 cases made.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Select to Add
