From the Lacrima grape variety, named for the distinctive drop that “weeps” from the cluster when the grapes reach maturity. This is a grape known since ancient times. Saved from extinction, it is now cultivated in a very small production area around Morro d’Alba (Ancona – Marche), about 15 km from the Adriatic Sea. On the nose, it opens with an intense, vinous aroma, featuring floral notes of rose and violet, accompanied by hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it presents a well-defined tannin that is never aggressive, balanced and integrated within the structure. The texture is soft and rounded, supported by good body and a satisfying flavor persistence. 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.
