LACRYMA CHRISTI ROSSO D.O.C.

Enodelta’s Lacryma Christi Rosso is a classic Neapolitan wine. Among the highest quality in the Campania region, it is also one of the most ancient wines in Italy. In both mythology and overall quality, this wine is truly legendary. Lacryma Christi Rosso is a modern rendition of a traditional Neapolitan wine.

Our classic Neapolitan wine is rich with dark fruits and exotic spices. Its firm oak structure and lively acidity makes this wine a perfect match for rich tomato sauces, wild meats, and spicy cheeses.
