LACRIMA DI MORRO D'ALBA, DOC, 2010
Accattoli s.r.l.

Accattoli near Recanati in Marche

The Accattoli winery, nestled in the hills bordering Umbria, made this unique wine.

Lacrima means "tear" in Italian, but no one knows how the name of the grape originated. Maybe this is because of the characteric tear drop which weeps from the ripe grape clusters, or the tear shaped grapes themselves.


Tasting notes:
One sniff, and your senses will be filled with an intense aroma of lavender, violets and roses, backed up by deep berry flavors. The taste is light and lively, and finishes with a hint of cherries in brandy and black cherry.
