Lacryma Christi, with Salami, Cheese and Ricotta Dessert

The lunch is written out in full, which is unusual enough to be worth reading: local salami and cheeses, pasta with organic tomato, and a sweetened ricotta dessert made the traditional way. It is a sit-down meal rather than a plate of things to pick at beside the glasses. The wine is Lacryma Christi, which comes off the ground at the foot of Vesuvius, and it is tasted alongside food that has been cooked in kitchens around here for centuries. There is a walk through the vineyards before any of that, which is the part that puts the wine in context: the soil, the slope, and the mountain above both.
