Description of Lacrima di Morro d’Alba
Lacrima di Morro d’Alba is an aromatic red wine produced in the hills of the province of Ancona, especially around the medieval village of Morro d’Alba. It stands out for its intense floral bouquet, with notes of violet, rose, and red berries that make it immediately recognizable compared to other red wines from the Marche. Its color is a lively ruby, and the taste is generally soft, fresh, and slightly spicy. It is a wine deeply tied to its territory and is often enjoyed young to highlight its aromatic character.
Cultural significance of Lacrima di Morro d’Alba
This wine is one of the most distinctive wine symbols of the province of Ancona. The Lacrima grape variety is rare and grown almost exclusively in this small area of the Marche, which strengthens its value as a local expression. For many residents it represents agricultural and family continuity, as its cultivation long remained in the hands of small producers. Its remarkably distinctive aromatic profile also makes it an ambassador of the Marche’s wine biodiversity.
