Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Fonte del Re Umani Ronchi 2023

From a rare grape variety grown near Morro d'Alba (AN), about 15 km from the Adriatic Sea, comes a wine with a unique character. On the nose, it releases an intense and vinous aroma, with notes of rose and violet intertwined with hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it is soft, rounded, and well-balanced, yet maintains structure and presence: the good body is accompanied by a long, pleasant finish. Contains sulphites. Produced by Azienda Vinicola Umani Ronchi Spa - Via Adriatica 12 - 60027, Osimo (AN) - Italy.

The producer

Since the beginning of its history, Umani Ronchi has distinguished itself as a great interpreter of two of the most typical wines of the Marche region, Verdicchio and Rosso Conero. Massimo Bernetti, who since the 1990s has been joined in the management of the company by his son Michele, has created wines which are appreciated throughout the world, has renovated the vineyard stock and has refurbished the great winery at Osimo, but he is not yet satisfied and stubbornly insists on following the imperatives of a product of the highest quality. All this translates into serious work of experimental agronomy and vineyard care, and the adoption of the most advanced techniques of cultivation and vinification. In the last few years the growth of interest in the wines produced in the neighbouring region of Abruzzo led Umani Ronchi in 2002 to purchase a 30 hectare holding in the Teramane hills, a designated sub-area of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo appellation.
