Lacryma Cristi del Vesuvio, "Lacrimabianco"

Wines

The Lacryma Cristi del Vesuvio Bianco is the result of a blend of white grapes that are birds of a feather: the freshness of the grapes combines the characteristics of the inimitable scent of Caprettone, genetically similar to the Code di Volpe and, for a long time, confused with it. The Lacrimabianco is a tribute to the Vesuvian tradition with a personal touch that Cantine Olivella offers for each bottle.
