Casa Setaro “Munazei” Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco 2023
The Land
Perched on the southern slopes of Mount Vesuvius, Casa Setaro draws from a dramatic landscape where ancient lava meets Mediterranean sun. The Munazei vineyard sits at elevations nearing 250 meters, rooted in loose, volcanic soils rich in pumice and ash—soils that breathe minerality into every grape. The sea just beyond lends cooling breezes, tempering the summer heat and stretching the ripening season. This is Campania in its most elemental form—fiery, coastal, and impossibly alive. The vineyard’s name, Munazei, a local term of endearment, nods to the intimate relationship between land and grower.
The Wine
The 2023 Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco is made entirely from Caprettone, an indigenous grape once mistaken for Coda di Volpe, now reclaimed for its aromatic poise and structure. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, it captures the variety’s purity: lemon blossom, white peach, and wild herbs unfold on the nose, while the palate offers a precise line of acidity underscored by saline minerality. The finish is vibrant, clean, and persistent—like a sea breeze winding through citrus groves. It’s a wine that speaks clearly of its place, with no interference, only clarity.
The People
Winemaker Massimo Setaro, a native of Trecase, carries a generational legacy grounded in the Vesuvian soil. With a quiet reverence for his land and a scholar’s curiosity for native varieties, he champions sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention. Casa Setaro’s wines are continuations of a regional story, told through careful farming and thoughtful restraint. “Munazei” is a tribute to the daily dialogue between vine and volcano, tradition and terroir.
