Lucchetti Lacrima di Morro d’Alba

Lucchetti Lacrima di Morro d’Alba is a deeply aromatic and characterful red wine from the Marche region of central Italy, made exclusively from the rare native Lacrima grape. Produced by Lucchetti, this wine reflects the historic identity of Morro d’Alba, where Lacrima thrives on clay-limestone soils influenced by Adriatic breezes. Vinified to preserve freshness and varietal perfume, it highlights Lacrima’s naturally floral and spicy profile rather than power or oak-driven weight. The style is medium-bodied, supple, and expressive, offering immediate drinkability while retaining structure. Intensely perfumed yet balanced on the palate, it stands apart from more familiar Italian reds. This is a distinctive, terroir-driven wine ideal for drinkers seeking something authentic and uncommon.

Nose
Highly aromatic and lifted, with pronounced notes of violet, rose petal, and lavender. Underneath the florals are hints of black cherry, raspberry, and sweet spice. Subtle touches of black pepper and dried herbs add complexity without overpowering the perfume.

Palate
Fresh and medium-bodied, with juicy red and black berry fruit at the core. The texture is smooth and supple, supported by gentle tannins and lively acidity. Floral notes carry through the mid-palate, joined by hints of anise and soft earth.

Finish
Clean and persistent, finishing with lingering floral tones, red fruit, and a lightly spicy, savory edge. Balanced and refreshing, inviting another sip.

Roasted pork or pork sausages – The wine’s aromatics and acidity complement savory, herb-seasoned pork dishes beautifully.

Pasta with tomato-based sauces – Especially with mushrooms or cured meats, where the wine’s freshness balances acidity and richness.

Grilled poultry – Herb-roasted chicken or turkey allows the floral notes of the wine to shine.

Semi-aged cheeses – Pecorino, young Asiago, or Caciotta highlight the wine’s fruit and gentle structure without overwhelming it.
