‘Olivetta’ is the name of a natural spring within the Vesuvio National Park, the only one in the area — a source of necessary refreshment for both travelers and residents.

This ‘Lacrimabianco’ too is a source of necessary refreshment, a silky marriage of two native white grapes: Catalanesca and Caprettone.

Medium-bodied and chock-full of apple and pear and citrus fruit, it’s a lovely draught of southern Italian sun and energy.
