Antonio Galloni (The Wine Advocate) - 90 Points Review by Plamen (Posted on 29/03/2010)
The 2008 Lachryma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso (Piedirosso) bursts from the glass with an intoxicating, heady array of bacon fat, smoke, tar, ash and dark red cherries. Despite its deceptive, mid-weight style, this dark brooding wine offers tons of complexity and personality. Though quite beautiful texturally, the strong aromas and flavors might not be for everyone, but paired with the right foods – such as grilled meats – the wine should drink beautifully. This is a gem from Mastroberardino. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.

A poem Review by Tamburlaine the Great (Posted on 04/08/2009)
Lachryma Christi and Calabrian wines
Shall common soldiers drink in quaffing bowls,
Ay, liquid gold, when we have conquer'd him,
Mingled with coral and with orient pearl.
Come, let us banquet and carouse the whiles. -
Very enjoyable Review by Christ (Posted on 10/06/2009)
The volcanic soils on the slopes of Vesuvius are perfect for vine growing, thanks to the good drainage of the lava soil and excellent exposure to the sun.
Bright ruby red with some purple tinge. Fresh and sweet smell, red cherry at the right degree of ripeness, very candid. The palate is still quite fresh, tannic and with the taste of cherry with a slight almond note.
Tasting Notes/Products Information
Lacryma Christi exhibits rich aromas and flavours of cherry, plum and raspberry with pepper and clove, wrapped in soft, plush tannins. It is full-bodied and distinctively smooth.
