Grape varietal & region: The Lacrima grape is rare, grown only in the Morro d’Alba region of the Marche. The Eastern most region of Central Italy between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Lacrima means “the teardrop” in Italian. The grape gets its name either from its teardrop shape or how its juice falls like tears when squeezed. Grapes were produced in the town of Morro d’Alba, 250m above sea level. Clayey soil, medium mixture.

Taste profile: Ciù Ciù Lacrima di Morro d’Alba D.O.C., made from 100% Lacrima di Morro d’Alba grapes. Produced with modern wine technologies, it gives origin to a purple-red wine with violet shades. Our lasting impression of Lacrima is the lingering note on our nose. Give it a couple of swishes and inhale beautiful notes of rose buds -Even hints of blackberry and Earl Grey tea. Slight leathery finish. Intense, red-berry-fruity wine with a persistent finish.
