Lacryma Christi means the Tear of Christ Grown only on Mt Vesuvius The Rosso is a blend of Piedirosso and Aglianico grapes.
Piedirosso grapes are only grown on Mt Vesuvius.
When Jesus was ascending to heaven, he glanced down at the earth and saw the Bay of Naples. It was so beautiful that he wept tears of joy. His tears fell on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and a grape vine grew. We now have wine from those vines, Lacryma Christi
