The exquisite and exotic Lacrima di Morro d'Alba from Velenosi provides a resounding example of why native Italian grapes are so delicious. Vibrant aromas that are equally floral and fruit-laden intertwine with each sniff of this wine. Ripe blackberry notes mingle with violets, candied cherries with roses and on and on. The palate is soft and easy. On the finish, a pleasant herbal and woodsy bitter note keeps the fruit in check. Yum!

Dark and woodsy in character, the 2020 Lacrima di Morro d’Alba wafts up with a mix of crushed wild berries, smoky sage and a hint of animal musk. It’s soft-textured with a welcome contrast of tart blackberries, sour citrus and zesty acids. This leaves a staining of concentration while finishing with wild herbal tones and a hint of licorice.
