Lacryma Christi Rosato 2007
by Gerardo Vernazzaro

  • From the indigenous Piedirosso and Aglianico grown on the east flank of the Vesuvius on volcanic soils
  • Grapes are hand picked and cold soaked on their skins for several days in the press before fermentation
  • The final wine remains on the fine lees for several months, adding texture and mouthfeel to the fresh, red fruit palate

"I am a very energetic young man who strongly believes in the indigenous grape varieties of home, the Campi Flegrei region in Campania. This DOC, or designated vine growing region, and of which its flag bearers are the white Falanghina and the red Piedirosso, is right in the middle of Naples’ urban sprawl fighting a lost cause against speculation and real estate, making the vineyards of Chateau Haut Brion in the suburbs of Bordeaux look distinctively rural.

You could call me a true city farmer"

Another recommendation to me from Walter Speller.<br />My wife is the Rose drinker at Chez Hardy normally but we both tried this last night.<br />For me I'd say it is a great Rose for someone who doesn't normally drink this type of wine. Very refreshing but not wishy washy in any way, as some to me taste watery. <br />I wouldn't normally rate this so highly but I will in this case as we both really enjoyed it. Also it's a great price so I'd like to encourage more people to try some.<br />I'll be bagging some for the summer!<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Phil<br />l

Just as we remembered, will go well with most seafood pasta dishes, especially a roasted vegetable and prawn linguine
