COLLINE LACRIMA di Morro d'Alba DOC
Lacrima has often been called “the RED GEWURZTRAMINER” due to its very distinctive and unique aroma.
The word “Lacrima” translate into English with “TEAR” because the skin of this grape is very delicate and naturally breaks when ripe, causing some small drops of juice (tears) to flow on the bunch.
Due to this characteristic, and to the fact that the cluster is very compact and so very keen to attract mould, this grape was almost abandoned from farmers which preferred instead to grow Montepulciano or Sangiovese.
Now the total Lacrima DOC area counts only for about 500 acres and 20 producers.
AWARDS

90 points Vinous
