The beautiful, azure Bay of Naples is said to be a piece of heaven that the devil cut off and dropped into the bay. It is said that Christ, saddened by the loss of a part of the beautiful blue sky, shed tears, and from the land where those tears fell, this wine, Lacryma Christi (meaning: Tears of Christ), was born. It is also said that the German poet Goethe, who visited Campania, praised this wine, saying, "Why didn't Christ shed tears in Germany!" It is a versatile wine representative of Southern Italy, pairing well with various dishes.
