Terroir: The Piedirosso grown in the volcanic soils of Vesuvius is influenced by the area's unique geological characteristics, which give the wine a pronounced minerality. The vineyards are exposed to a mild climate, tempered by sea breezes and medium altitudes, which ensure balanced ripening of the grapes while preserving natural acidity.

Vinification: The harvest is carried out manually, followed by a gentle maceration to enhance the varietal aromas of the Piedirosso. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, while aging is completed in wooden barrels for a few months, giving the wine a round and balanced character.

Description: The Lacrima Christi Rosso DOC - Piedirosso Rossi is a symbol of the ancient Campanian winemaking tradition, an expression of the Feudi San Gregorio winery, which focuses on the enhancement of indigenous grape varieties. With its notes of red fruit, spices, and minerality, it represents a tribute to the Vesuvius territory and its volcanic roots.
