Lacrime di Luna I.G.P.

Along the slopes of Mount Taburno they certainly express characters of the highest level, and it is for this reason that Giovanni Rapuano has embarked on the withering road to enhance these characteristics to the maximum. This passito in fact is the absolute concentration of minerality and spices that coexist in absolute harmony.
