Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore 'Castello di Ramosceto' Ma.Ri.Ca. 2019

Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore "Castello di Ramosceto," made by the Ma.Ri.Ca winery, is an atypical red, surprising with its pleasantly floral and delicately aromatic profile. It is made from the vine of the same name, an ancient variety grown for centuries only near the ancient village of Morro d'Alba, where it has found its ideal habitat. The mild climate, softened by the constant breeze of Adriatic sea breezes, makes it possible always to harvest healthy grapes. It is a little treasure to be discovered, a red of great personality, dedicated to the most refined and fine palates.

Lacrima "Castello di Ramosceto" was born in Belvedere Ostrense, in the province of Ancona. The Ma.Ri.Ca winery is a family business, which since the 1970s, has been dedicated to the enhancement of the indigenous vines of the area: Lacrima di Morro d'Alba and Verdicchio. The vineyards are located in the splendid hillside areas of San Marcello and Belvedere Ostrense on limestone-clay soils that are particularly suited. The grapes come from a rigorous selection of Lacrima clusters harvested in a 7-hectare vineyard, wonderfully exposed to the south, which always guarantees perfect ripeness with very rich aromatic profiles. The grapes are vinified in red with classic maceration on the skins. At the end of the process, the wine is re-fermented with the addition of dried Lacrima grapes, according to a procedure inspired by the ancient tradition of the Tuscan Government spread in the Chianti area. Before bottling, the wine matures for 12 months in stainless steel tanks. The result is a persuasive, smooth wine with rich, ripe aromas typical of all wines made with a percentage of dried grapes.

The wine "Castello di Ramosceto" Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore from Ma.Ri.Ca winery is, without any doubt, one of the most beautiful interpretations of this fascinating grape variety with absolutely unique characteristics. In the glass, it shows a dark ruby red colour with purplish reflections. The olfactory profile is intense and elegant, characterized by floral scents of rose petals, violet and rosehip nuances, aromas of blueberry, currant, blackberry, and delicate spicy sensations. The bite is soft and fruity, with a fine tannic texture and a fresh finish with good persistence.
