Vino Lacrima di Morro d'Alba
In our online store you can find the Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, a red wine from Marche rich in history and appreciated by lovers of fragrant and versatile wines. It is spread in a hilly area close to the sea between Ancona and Jesi whose geographical center is represented by Morro d'Alba, a country that already in the local chronicles of the twelfth century is associated with the production of red wines. Since 1985 the area, which also includes the municipalities of Monte S. Vito, S. Marcello, Belvedere Ostrense, Ostra and Senigallia, has the denomination of controlled origin, a recognition that attests to the uniqueness and specificity of the grapes grown in this area characterized by the presence of streams and vineyards that degrade towards the valley. The proximity of the Adriatic Sea, which is not more than 25 km from the vineyards, mitigates the climate and limits the temperature range between day and night, protecting the grapes from dangerous temperature changes and cold. The soils are predominantly limestone and clay and are characterized by the presence of marine sediments.
