Legend has it that upon beholding the splendour of the Bay of Naples, Jesus was moved to tears, which fell upon the slopes of Vesuvius, where vines subsequently sprang forth. Since then, the vineyards clinging to the volcano's slopes have given rise to a wine whose name honours that legend: Lacryma Christi, the tear of Christ. An ancient, almost mythical tale that transforms with each sip of this unforgettable white.
Feudi di San Gregorio, established in 1986 in the heart of Irpinia (Campania, Italy), has played a pivotal role in the revival of Southern Italian wine. Its dedication to indigenous varieties, art, and sustainability makes it far more than just a winery: it is a contemporary expression of an ancient land. Since its inception, it has looked forward without losing the essence of the territory, blending winemaking tradition, avant-garde architecture, and a strong cultural vocation. Its bottles hold not just wine, but also history, landscape, and a way of perceiving beauty.
Feudi di San Gregorio Lacryma Christi Bianco is crafted from the coda di volpe and falanghina varieties, two treasures of the Campanian vineyard. It ferments in steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve its freshness and spends five months on its lees, which imparts texture and complexity. A white wine that enchants with aromas of white fruits, citrus peel, and a mineral undertone reminiscent of the volcanic soil.
Ideal as an aperitif or alongside fish dishes, roasted vegetables, or Mediterranean cuisine, this wine invites you to relish the moment with a glass in hand and a tranquil soul. Feudi di San Gregorio Lacryma Christi Bianco is a white wine that connects with the power of Vesuvius, the depth of tradition, and the delicacy of a tear transformed into vine. A liquid tribute to beauty, emotion, and the legacy of a land that continues to inspire.
