Fresh and lifted, with green apple, ripe peach and lemon peel to the fore. Feudi's own note calls out white fruit and citrus peel, and across 357 Vivino reviews tree fruit and citrus are the two most cited families. A cool volcanic-stone lift sits behind the fruit.
Feudi di San Gregorio Lacryma Christi Bianco
Aziende Agricole Feudi di San GregorioFeudi di San Gregorio's Lacryma Christi Bianco blends Coda di Volpe and Falanghina from Vesuvius. Steel-fermented, three months on the lees: green apple, lemon peel and a volcanic mineral edge. A crisp Campanian white near 15 pounds.
Coda di Volpe and Falanghina, straight off Vesuvius
Feudi's own note calls this a crystalline straw yellow with fresh white fruit and citrus peel, soft and fresh with an elegant mineral component. Across 357 Vivino reviews the recurring words are green apple, peach and lemon over a stony volcanic edge, and Wine Enthusiast found lemon-lime, nectarine and crisp acidity in the wine.

Soft and dry on entry, then the brisk lemon-lime acidity Wine Enthusiast singled out in this wine. It stays light and medium-bodied at 12.5% alcohol, carrying the saline, stony mineral edge Feudi ties to the Vesuvius soils, with green apple and nectarine through the middle.
Clean and citrus-driven, closing on a chalky mineral note with the good aromatic persistence Feudi's tasting note claims for it.
A dependable, well-made Campanian white built for freshness rather than depth. Vivino members rate it 3.7 across more than 3,700 ratings; it is an aperitivo and seafood wine to drink young, not a bottle to age.
Around 15 pounds for a benchmark Campanian white
UK listings sit near 14.80 pounds for the current 2024 and 2025 releases. Vivino members give it 3.7 from more than 3,700 ratings, with the 2022 the group's best recent year at 3.8. This is a drink-now aperitivo white, not a bottle to lay down, so buy the freshest vintage on the shelf.
An everyday Campanian white, scored six ways
The Italian Wine Fit Score reads this as a food and everyday wine first. Brisk acidity and a saline edge make it a reliable table and aperitivo white, and at around 15 pounds it is fair value. It scores low for cellaring, since Lacryma Christi Bianco is made to drink young.
Brisk acidity, salinity and 12.5% alcohol make it a natural for Neapolitan seafood, fried fish and fresh cheeses.
A crisp, food-friendly aperitivo white at an everyday price that suits a weeknight table.
Soft, fresh and low in alcohol with no oak or tannin, it is an easy, approachable introduction to Campanian whites.
Around 15 pounds for a named-producer Vesuvio DOC white that Vivino rates 3.7 from over 3,700 ratings is fair, honest value.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

2024 and 2025: buy the youngest bottle
Lacryma Christi Bianco is built for freshness, cold-fermented in steel and released within a year of harvest. The 2024 and 2025 are the current UK releases and both drink best inside two to three years. Vivino rates the 2022 as the standout recent year at 3.8, but for this style the newest bottle is generally the best buy.

Built for Neapolitan seafood and the aperitivo hour
Feudi pitches this as an aperitivo white for antipasti, fish and vegetable dishes. Its 12.5% alcohol, brisk acidity and saline mineral edge make it a natural for the shellfish of the Bay of Naples: impepata di cozze, fried fish, mozzarella di bufala. Serve it well chilled at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius.
Lemon-lime acidity for peppered mussels
Wine Enthusiast pinned crisp lemon-lime acidity on this wine, and it cuts cleanly through the peppery broth of impepata di cozze without burying the sweet shellfish.

Volcanic salinity for Bay of Naples seafood
The saline, stony edge Feudi draws from the Vesuvius soils mirrors the brine of local seafood, so fried fish and squid ink risotto stay bright rather than heavy.
Try with: Fried mixed fish · Squid ink risotto · More pairings →
Freshness against mozzarella di bufala
At 12.5% alcohol with green apple crunch, it scrubs the milky fat of Campanian mozzarella and tomato in an insalata caprese and resets the palate.

Citrus peel meets herb-baked antipasti
The lemon-peel and white-fruit aromatics Feudi notes bridge to lemon-dressed vegetable antipasti and the breadcrumb-and-herb topping of cozze arraganate.
Try with: Cozze arraganate · Vegetable antipasti · More pairings →
Light body for the aperitivo hour
Feudi builds this as an aperitivo white, and its light, medium body sits beside olives, fried snacks and fresh cheeses without overwhelming them.

Skip fiery chilli heat
Big chilli heat from 'nduja or a fiery arrabbiata amplifies the wine's citrus bite and flattens its delicate green apple and mineral notes. Save it for milder, sea-facing plates.
Peak around 2026. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Made for freshness and released young, it is meant to be drunk within two to three years, not cellared.
£12.85 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Common Questions
It is a blend of Coda di Volpe and Falanghina, two native white grapes of Campania grown on the volcanic slopes of Vesuvius. Together they carry the Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC.
Crystalline straw yellow with fresh white fruit and citrus peel. Feudi's own note and 357 Vivino reviews point to green apple, peach and lemon over an elegant volcanic mineral streak. It drinks soft, fresh and dry rather than rich.
The Coda di Volpe and Falanghina ferment in stainless steel at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, then rest three months on the fine lees in steel before bottling. No oak is used, which keeps the citrus and mineral character clean.
Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius as an aperitivo or with Neapolitan seafood such as impepata di cozze, fried or grilled fish, mozzarella di bufala and vegetable antipasti. Its brisk acidity and 12.5% alcohol keep it a refreshing table white.
At around 15 pounds it is an honest, well-made Campanian white rather than a cellar wine. Vivino members rate it 3.7 from more than 3,700 ratings, and the 2022 vintage scores highest. Drink it young for its freshness.
