Lacryma Christi takes its name from an ancient Christian legend. It is said that Lucifer, the most beautiful and shining angel in Heaven, and Christ's favorite, stole a piece of heaven to bring it to Earth. From this piece of Heaven, the Gulf of Naples, with its fertile and hospitable lands, was born. Christ, realizing the theft, reluctantly expelled the angel from Heaven, causing him to fall to Earth and into it, creating Hell. The Creator wept bitterly in grief, and his tears bathed the dark earth of Vesuvius, giving birth to an exceptional vine and a heavenly wine.

In a surprising setting, on the slopes of one of the largest volcanoes in Europe, the best native red grape varieties of Campania give life to Lacryma Christi .
