The Lacrima grape is an ancient variety limited to a pinpoint area in the Marche (Central Italy). The 2012 Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore Orgiolo opens to a darkly saturated color with garnet and ruby highlights. The bouquet is very distinctive with crushed white pepper, dried violets and a touch of wild sage. The grape delivers medium build and sour cherry flavors on the finish (it ages in neutral oak).
