When I was visitining Pompeii I bought lots of bottles of Lacrimi Christi from local supermarkets. This is grown on the slopes of Vesuvius and has a distinctive taste. I read later (an a very good website, edited by an academic - no bookmark!) that the wine is very good a real authentic wine.
Drank it all, though, nothing to bring back (except lots of lamps and pockets full of Vesuvian ash, cinder and smashed Pompeiian pottery).
