Description

The Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC 1999 Gabriele di Falco is a rare and historically significant Italian wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Vesuvius, Campania, Italy. Produced by Gabriele di Falco, this vintage showcases the classic style of Lacryma Christi, a wine historically prized for its unique terroir and mineral-driven profile.

Tasting Notes:

The 1999 vintage is now fully mature, showing both tertiary evolution and retained freshness. The nose presents aromas of dried cherry, plum, volcanic mineral notes, leather, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs, with subtle balsamic and floral hints emerging with aeration.

On the palate, it is elegant and well-balanced, with integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that highlight the wine’s volcanic character. Flavors of dried red fruit, earthy minerals, and savory herbaceous notes dominate, leading to a long, refined, and lingering finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:

Best served at 16–18°C. Handle carefully; gentle pouring and decanting may help separate sediment and reveal complex aromas.

Pairs well with:

Braised meats or roasted game
Mushroom risotto or truffle dishes
Aged Pecorino or other firm cheeses
Traditional Campanian cuisine

Producer:

Gabriele di Falco is a historic producer on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the volcanic soils and microclimate of the region. The winery emphasizes traditional techniques, careful vineyard management, and ageing potential, producing Lacryma Christi wines that combine elegance, structure, and aromatic intensity. The 1999 vintage is an excellent example of their craftsmanship.
