From our distributor:
Color: Red
Flavor: Ruby red color, crystal clear. Nose shows an intriguing and unique balance between the aromas of blueberry, black mulberry and ripe plum. Wine of medium structure, overall very balanced. A delicate entrance with excellent taste -- olfactory persistence and good lifts to small very ripe red fruit, typical of the wines of Vesuvius.

In 1974 at the slope of Monte Somma close to the “Olivella” spring, from which the winery takes its name, an ancient fragment of an earthenware wine jug was discovered. This is proof of the wealth of an area whose wines were some of the finest of ancient Rome on the market with Pompeii. An abbreviated inscription of “Sextus Catius Festus” is engraved on the opening of the earthenware jar along with a seal depicting a stylized leaf, similar to a heart. The seal tellingly became the logo for “Cantine Olivella”, and was modified into a wine glass. This is the perfect representation of the union between land, art and passion, namely three hearts beating in unison in the world of Cantine Olivella. Here we work the volcanic wines of the Vesuvius – Lacryma Christi, recovered varietals from Catalanesca, Caprettone and Piedirosso.

From the producer's website:
The production area of Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOP covers the entire zone, including both the newer cone, “Vesuvius,” and the older part, “Mount Somma,” in the heart of the Vesuvius National Park.
The blend of Piedirosso, Aglianico, and Olivella grapes is the symbol of the Vesuvian territory. The finesse of Piedirosso, the elegant tannins of Olivella, and the strength of Aglianico give life to Lacrimanero, a Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOP Rosso—a complex wine with notes of small berries and licorice.
