Volcanic. Mineral-charged. A rare pure Caprettone expression.
Casa Setaro showcases the Caprettone grape in its most authentic form with Munazei Bianco—vinified from ungrafted vines planted at around 250 m in Bosco del Monaco on the volcanic slopes of Vesuvius. Fermented and aged for six months in stainless steel, its profile is lit by minerality, sea-spray salinity, and a compelling smoke-lined finish.
Why we love it:
Munazei Bianco elegantly captures the essence of Vesuvius—minerality, volcanic smoke, and Mediterranean freshness—through a single, rare white grape. It’s a terroir-driven white that bridges depth and drinkability.

Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC

- Caprettone

Colour
Bright straw-yellow with faint green reflections.
Nose
Fragrant Mediterranean scrub, citrus blossom, white peach, subtle balsamic tones and a smoky-volcanic lift.
Palate
Medium-bodied, taut and vibrant—lively acidity carries saline minerality, orchard fruit, herbal hints and a pleasantly savory, lingering finish.

This wine’s zingy, saline edge makes it a brilliant companion for:
- Grilled seafood or baked fish with herbs
- Calamari, shellfish pastas, mussels
- Vegan dishes like blackened cauliflower
- Light antipasti, citrusy salads or mild goat cheese boards
