Lacryma Christi Rosso DOP, by Famiglia Pagano, is a structured red wine made from Piedirosso and Sciascinoso grapes from vineyards located in the Vesuvius National Park area. Piedirosso, an indigenous Campania grape, is known for its rusticity and its ability to give wines with body and structure. Sciascinoso, also indigenous to Campania, completes the blend, giving the wine softness and fruity aromas. The area of the Vesuvius National Park is a hilly zone, characterised by a temperate Mediterranean climate. The soil here is volcanic in nature, rich in minerals and well drained, ideal for growing quality grapes. In the glass, the Lacryma Christi has a beautiful intense ruby red colour. The nose perceives fruity hints of plum, cherry and strawberry, accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper and vanilla. On the palate, however, the wine is warm and smooth, with a good tannic structure and a lingering finish. A full-bodied red, this Lacryma Christi pairs well with red meat dishes, mature cheeses and spicy foods. Perfect with roasts, chops, game and savoury cheeses. Good immediately, it can also be kept for a few years in the cellar to evolve its taste and characteristics.
The Famiglia Pagano winery was born in the mid-twentieth century in Boscoreale, on the slopes of Vesuvius, from the passion of Andrea. His tenacity and love for the land drove him to cultivate fine grapes in an area dominated at the time by the production of PDO tomatoes. Thirty years later, Andrea, flanked by his wife Raffaella, transformed his passion into a full-fledged winemaking business. Once again a courageous and countercurrent choice that proves to be a winner. Today, the family tradition is carried on by the new generations, with Ludovica, a doctor in oenology, and Andrea Jr., the founder's grandson, who decide to transfer the business to Luogosano, in the province of Avellino, the beating heart of Taurasi production. 36 hectares of vineyards in Avellino, Benevento, Naples and Salerno, tended with care and dedication. In particular, biodiversity and the ecosystem are preserved through the use of sustainable cultivation techniques, which guarantee grapes of the highest quality. The winery, located in a privileged position among the vineyards, is a perfect blend of modernity and tradition. Advanced winemaking technologies are harmoniously integrated with ancient production techniques, resulting in unique and refined wines.
