April Wine of the Month

For our April Wine Feature, we are excited to showcase Lacyrma Christi del Vesuvio Rosso & Bianco DOC 2015. The name of this wine is entwined with a legend. According to the story, God cried finding the Gulf of Naples, a strip of heaven stolen by Lucifer, and in the place where his tears fell, Lacryma Christi ("tears of Christ") vines grew. 

This wine is dear to our hearts here at Clara's for two specific reasons. First, Lacryma Christi is produced by the Mastroberardino family, a family owned business dating back ten generations! Second, it is Clara's all-time favorite wine: 

"The tears of Christ, Lacryma Christi, is from Campania, the same region of Italy my mom and dad were from. Lacryma Christi Bianco is a very light, crisp white wine that is perfect for fish dishes. We always had Lacryma Christi with us to accompany La Vigilia, the feast of the seven fishes, and our Easter celebrations. I hope you enjoy this truly marvelous wine!"

We will be holding a special contest for our customers with this wine feature. The customer who buys the most bottles/glasses of either wine will be given a full case of Mastroberardino! Second place will be given six bottles, and third one bottle. Ask your server for more information.

We will be featuring these two wines for the month of April at $9 a glass and $35 a bottle.
