Lacrima

**Lacrima** is a red grape of Italy's Marche region, celebrated in the small Lacrima di Morro d'Alba appellation for producing one of the most floral and aromatic reds in the country. **In the glass** — instantly recognisable for its intense scent of roses and violets, followed by juicy purple and blue fruit; the palate is soft and gentle, with supple tannins and a perfumed, almost sweet-fruited charm. **Where it grows** — a genuine local speciality around the town of Morro d'Alba in the Marche, where it is grown almost nowhere else. **At the table** — lovely with cured meats, medium-rich pasta and mild cheeses. **Cellaring** — very much a wine to drink young, while its extraordinary floral aromatics are fresh and vivid.
