Coda di Volpe and Falanghina, straight off Vesuvius
Crystalline straw yellow with fresh white fruit and citrus peel, soft and fresh with an elegant stony streak, in Feudi's own words. Green apple, peach and lemon sit over a stony volcanic edge, with lemon-lime, nectarine and crisp acidity underneath.

- Typical of Coda di Volpe
Fresh and lifted, with green apple, ripe peach and lemon peel to the fore: white fruit and citrus peel, as Feudi's own note has it. A cool volcanic-stone lift sits behind the fruit.
Soft and dry on entry, then brisk lemon-lime acidity. It stays light and medium-bodied at 12.5% alcohol, carrying the salty, stony edge of the Vesuvius soils, with green apple and nectarine through the middle.
Clean and citrus-driven, closing on a chalky, stony note that lingers, the aromatic persistence Feudi's own note promises.
A dependable, well-made and well-liked Campanian white built for freshness rather than depth. 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. 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 salty 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, a salty edge 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 well-liked, named-producer Vesuvio DOC white is fair, honest value.
Pleasant and reliable for casual gatherings, but too light and inexpensive to anchor a special-occasion table.
Made for freshness and released young, it is meant to be drunk within two to three years, not cellared.
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. For this style the newest bottle is generally the best buy.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
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 salty, stony 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
Crisp lemon-lime acidity cuts cleanly through the peppery broth of impepata di cozze without burying the sweet shellfish.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Cozze arraganate · More pairings →
Volcanic salinity for Bay of Naples seafood
The salty, stony edge 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.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Mozzarella di bufala · More pairings →
Citrus peel meets herb-baked antipasti
The lemon-peel and white-fruit aromatics 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.
Try with: Aperitivo antipasti · Fresh cheeses · More pairings →
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 stony notes. Save it for milder, sea-facing plates.
Peak around 2026. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Made for freshness and released young, it is meant to be drunk within two to three years, not cellared.
£11.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2025, at XtraWine, is the best price we track, 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. Green apple, peach and lemon sit over an elegant volcanic, stony streak, just as Feudi's own note says. 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 their spent yeast in steel before bottling. No oak is used, which keeps the citrus and stony 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 and well-liked Campanian white rather than a cellar wine. Drink it young for its freshness.
