The Lacryma Christi  is a wine from the Campania region of Italy produced in the area of Mount Vesuvius. Indeed, it is also known as  Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio.  It holds a DOC denomination, which means only when produced in the Vesuvian areas, it can bear its beautiful name. 

Yes, its name. Latin for “Christ’s tears,” it is evocative and mysterious at the same time and, indeed, legends about the origin of this wine are lost in the mists of time and have a mystic aura about them. And so, let us explore the fascinating world of Campania’s Lacryma Christi together: possibly, sipping a good glass of it.
