The Lacryma Christi Rosso by Feudi di San Gregorio is an assembly of Piedirosso and Aglianico. This sub-denomination of the Vesuvio doc is used for wines from Piedirosso, Sciascinoso and Aglianico grapes, with a low yield and an alcohol content of at least 12°. The vineyards are located in the foothills of the quiescent volcano that dominates Naples, spread over 15 municipalities. The soils are dark lava soils rich in potassium and other microelements, with a good capacity to retain water. The grapes are harvested in the second half of October, vinified in steel, where the wine then rests between 4 and 5 months before bottling.
