MASTR LCB
A wine with a prestigious name, its origins are lost in legend: God cried finding the Gulf of Naples, a strip of heaven stolen by Lucifer, and in the place where his tears fell, Lacryma Christi vines grew. Due to the extraordinary nature of the territory, full of ashes mixed with lava and lapilli, where the vine hardly climbs, it is impossible to ignore such a force of nature in the expression of aromas and flavors.
