Varietal

Lacrima

Lacrima is a rare red wine grape native to Italy’s Marche region, primarily grown around the town of Morro d’Alba. Its name, meaning ‘tear’ in Italian, refers to the grape’s delicate skin, which tends to release drops of juice when fully ripe. Lacrima wines are known for their intensely aromatic profile, bursting with floral and perfumed notes of violet, rose, and lavender, along with ripe berries, spice, and a hint of balsamic character. What makes Lacrima unique is its combination of bold aromatics and soft, juicy tannins, creating a wine that is fragrant yet approachable. While often made in a dry style, some versions showcase slight sweetness to enhance its floral nature. Its rarity and distinctive profile make it a fascinating choice for adventurous wine drinkers. Best enjoyed young to preserve its vibrant fruit, Lacrima pairs beautifully with cured meats, soft cheeses, and tomato-based dishes.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Marche

Marche, an Italian wine region on the Adriatic coast, is one of the world's most ancient wine regions. For thousands of years, vines have been cultivated in this beautiful and mountainous landscape, and the region has been influenced by the Pheonicians, the Lombards and the Romans, giving it a wine culture and identity quite unlike any other region of Italy. With a relatively high number of DOC and DOCG titles, Marche is home to many of Italy's finest wines, and is a region most readily associated with superb white wines. Indeed, the most common grape varietals grown in Marche are the Trebbiano and Verdicchio, which have been cultivated in vast amounts for white wine production in Marche for at least six hundred years, and which produce wines packed full of unique flavors associated with the region.
