Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with youthful brightness. The nose is immediately aromatic, with notes of rose petals, violets, red berries, and a subtle spicy edge. On the palate, expect juicy red cherry, blackberry, and raspberry framed by soft tannins and lively acidity. It is usually fragrant rather than heavy, making it enjoyable in its youth, though it can hold for a few years if stored well.

Production
Lacrima di Morro d’Alba comes from Marche, where the grape is closely tied to the hill town of Morro d’Alba and its surrounding terroir of clay and calcareous soils. The vineyards benefit from a balanced inland-Adriatic climate that helps preserve freshness while allowing the variety’s aromatic profile to fully develop. Vinification is typically carried out with a focus on protecting the grape’s delicate floral character and bright fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with salumi, roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, pizza, and pasta with rich tomato-based sauces. Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you want to open it up a little before serving.
