Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is one of the most exciting recent DOC varieties to emerge from Central Italy. Yet the name ”lacrima”, meaning "tear drop," is still the subject of some debate. Many say it simply refers to the oval shape of the grape, or the formation of the grape clusters. Perhaps more imaginatively, others argue the name 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, and it is often believed to be related to the Aleatico variety.
