Emblema Caprettone DOC Vesuvio, Cantine Olivella

Another example of a volcanic wine, more structure and more complexity than your usual white wine, with a nice acidity and a fruity nose and plenty of minerality for this white wine made with Caprettone grape from vineyards located in the Vesuvius national park with their roots deep in minerally rich volcanic lava.

Until recently only used in blend, the Lacryma Christi is possibly the most famous, this native Campania grape is cultivated in the whole region but producing the best results in the Naples area especially around the Vesuvio. This is a white wine that pairs perfectly fish pasta dishes, from pasta alle vongole, clams pasta, to risotto alla pescatora, visit our authentic Italian recipes section for more ideas.
