Earthy. Volcanic. A pure Piedirosso expression from Vesuvius.
Hailing from ancient ungrafted Piedirosso vines planted at 250–300 m elevation on the volcanic slopes of Mount Vesuvius, Casa Setaro’s Munazei Rosso is a striking blend of tradition and terroir. Following a three-day cold pre-fermentation maceration and six months of ageing in stainless steel, this wine combines smoky volcanic minerality, savoury spice, and crisp red fruit energy—all framed by delicate tannins and refreshing acidity. The result is a wine born from fire, yet elegantly balanced and vibrantly drinkable
Why we love it:
Munazei Rosso is a fiery testament to Vesuvius—where smoke, spice, and saline earth fuse with vibrant red fruit and fluid structure. It’s a red for any season—equally thrilling on a summer evening or paired with hearty winter fare.

Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC

- Piedirosso

Colour
Bright ruby red with youthful violet glints.
Nose
A fragrant mix of wild cherries, rose petals, macchia herbs, clove, subtle smoke, and saline volcanic earth.
Palate
Medium-bodied and fluid, with juicy berry and plum flavours, lively acidity, a tension-filled mineral spine, and gentle spice notes. Tannins are soft, finish is savoury and lingering.

Pairs beautifully with Mediterranean fare:
- Grilled pork, lamb, or game meats
- Tomato-based pasta dishes and pizza margherita
- Cured meats, salumi boards, and aged pecorino
- Roast vegetables, mushroom ragout, or white bean stews
