“Rubico” is a Lacrima di Morro d'Alba made by Marotti Campi, one of the most important brands of Marche wine, which manages an estate of as much as 120 hectares, of which about half are dedicated to viticulture. The Lacrima vineyards are located in the hilly area surrounding Morro d'Alba and are cultivated at an altitude of 180 meters above sea level with a sunny exposure facing south and southeast. The soils are medium-textured, with a good percentage of clay, particularly suitable for red grape varieties. The harvest is carried out manually using small crates, around the middle of September. The bunches are sent for fermentation with 10% of the grapes undergoing carbonic maceration and the remaining 90% to traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature with skin maceration. The aging, which precedes bottling, takes place for a few months in steel tanks.
