Lacrima is an ancient Italian grape variety (from the latin for "tears") that is enjoying a renaissance thanks to producers like Cantina Mazzola. Beautifully perfumed, with clear influence from its proximity to the sea, the wine has softly scented floral notes on the nose framing a core of vibrant fruit.
Cantina Mazzola farm sustainably and organically, and their wines truly capture the soul of Marche.
What the critics say:
"The 2016 Mazzola ‘Sangvineto’ Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, a wine like nothing I’ve tasted before. Lacrima is an ancient grape rarely, if ever, seen outside Le Marche and its method of production – the so-called Ganimede fermentation process – is similarly obscure. I gave it a Google but it went right over my head. Suffice to say, the result is a gloriously scented wine (all I could think of was clouds of rose petals), with fresh, ripe, concentrated red and dark fruit with the gentlest of tannins. It’s an acquired taste, for sure, but one that I acquired on the spot and with glee. "
