Mastroberardino is one of the historically significant names in Italian wine. Their 2021 Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso entry-level selection highlights the distinctive personality of Piedirosso, an indigenous red grape grown in volcanic soil near Mount Vesuvius that showcases the unforgettable taste of Campania. Cherries, plums, smoky violets, dried black olives, black pepper, and dense herbs are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. Refined, polished tannins and bright, fresh acidity make this a lifting, juicy wine.
