Made with Lacrima grapes from a vineyard of the same name and matured in glass-line cement vats. A pronounced but not opaque ruby-purple color with a bouquet that opens with notes of graphite and flowers followed by those of moss and green peppercorn. The attack of the mouthfeel is fruity thanks to a trickle of residue that withstands tannins that are rightfully bitter, while graphite and rose return in the finish. This interpretation sacrifices some of the varietal’s aromatic exuberance to produce a Lacrima di Morro d’Alba that has more character than those tasted in recent years. Not for all palates, however.
