ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Cantine Matrone is located in Boscotrecase, in the heart of the Vesuvius National Park, facing the Gulf of Naples. It is led by Andrea Matrone, who after gaining experience making wine in Australia, New Zealand, California, Sicily and Cilento, returned to his origins on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, to produce wines with great respect for territoriality and nature.

The bulk of production is focused on two wines: Lacryma Christi Rosso and Lacryma Christi Bianco. It is a type of wine common to the area and produced since Roman times. Andrea produces wines which are aromatic, precise and complex, while retaining the unique terroir-driven character and flavours typical of this wine.
