#103 Coda di Volpe

From a distributor: "Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio is so named for the legend of Christ's ascension into heaven and his emotion upon seeing the beauty of the Bay of Naples beneath him. The grape, Coda di Volpe, refers to the foxtail shape of the grape bunches."

It has a dry minerality and a layer of lemon rind which adds a level of tartness to the dry finish. It is a $12 steal.
