Lacrima means teardrop in Italian, a reference for the shape of these grapes on the vine and their tendency to split, allowing juice to run from the grapes. The Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC is dedicated exclusively to the vinifcation of this grape. The Marotti family first purchased this estate in the 19th century and has been cultivating vines dedicated to the Lacrima grape for the past two generations. We are excited to have their red Lacrima as well this lovely rosato Lacrima version in the store. Sustainable
