Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is a type of Italian red wine which comes from the Marche region of central Italy. The name literally translates to 'tears of Morro d'Alba', with the 'tears' part suggesting the slightly sweet, delicate flavours often present in wines of this kind.
Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is made from the Lacrima grape variety from which it obtains its name. The grape is an indigenous and ancient one, grown almost nowhere else in the world aside from this region. It is a grape variety known for maintaining high levels of acidity even when fully ripe.
The wine is often characterised by intense, fruity flavours of strawberries, cherries and blackberries, as well as floral notes of roses or violets, making it quite aromatic. The best expressions also have a distinctive mineral undertone, and some may have a slightly bitter finish.
The unique flavours of Lacrima di Morro d'Alba make it a versatile wine when it comes to food pairings. It can go well with everything from pasta dishes to roasted meats, and even some seafood dishes. The wine normally has a medium body with a moderate amount of tannins.
It's worth noting that Lacrima di Morro d'Alba can be produced as both a dry and sweet wine, and there are also sparkling versions available. It is usually enjoyed within a few years of its production, rarely being a wine that is aged extensively. This contributes to its youthful, vibrant characteristics.
