Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is one of the most exciting new grape varieties to emerge from Central Italy. Only recently available in North America, it is a round, fruity, aromatic grape that produces an approachable but intensely flavored red. A great food wine. Its name
lacrima
, meaning "tear drop," is due to the "tears" that this rich grape shows in hot summer months when the skins of some berries split and the grapes "cry." Morro d'Alba, not to be confused with the township of Alba in the Langhe, is a township in Le Marche where the grapes are grown and the wine is made. Historically, the grape has also been cultivated in other parts of Central Italy and the South. Many believe it related to the Aleatico variety.
