Name: Lacryma Christi Del Vesuvio
Variety: Coda di Volpe 100%
Region: Mount Vesuvius
Country: Italy
Year: 2020
Price: $23.95
Winery Review: Pale yellow. Aromas of pear, apple and citrus, with notes of white peach and licorice. Smooth, with moderate acidity and body make this a well-structured, food-friendly wine. Great with fresh or fried seafoods and creamy pasta or risotto dishes.
Wine Folly: pg 541 "Campagnia" - The book does mot have too much to say for this varietal, but it does say whites from southern Italy are fuller-bodied, which this wine was.
Personal Review: Mineral, acid, stone, citrus, apple, pear, relatively dry but not especially tannic. Went quite well with the calamari pasta I made. The sweeter apple and pear notes did a lot to combat the heat from the red pepper in the dish. Very pleasant experience overall.
