Lacrima di Morro
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Within Marche, the Lacrima di Morro denomination sets itself apart from neighbouring wines through a highly specific aging rule: rather than requiring a set number of months, the base wine has a fixed release date of December 15 in the harvest year. Crafted from at least 85% Lacrima grapes, both vinification and bottling must occur entirely within six municipalities, including Senigallia and Morro d'Alba. This precise process yields a deep ruby red wine with a minimum alcohol content of 11.0% vol, characterized by an intense, pleasant odor and a soft, characteristic flavor.
