More goes into our Lacryma Christi wine than just grapes:
The land: Tour our 16-hectare vineyard, planted in the volcanic soil of the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius.
The people: Meet Maurizio Russo, the youngest of this historic family of winemakers.
The work: See how our family has worked these hills every day since 1930 to create a winery that combines the rigors of organic production with the warmth of Italian hospitality. We only produce a limited number of bottles a year, all of which are sold directly from our own wine shop.
Our vineyard of Piedirosso and Caprettone grapes is organic, reflecting our deep love for the land.

This historic wine has been made here for two milennia, born from the unique volcanic terroir.

This position makes Cantina del Vesuvio an ideal stopping point between a visit to Pompeii and a climb to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius.
