Quite an amazing drink; 375 ml; special; from the thin-skinned lacrima grape (means tear) only grown around the town of Morro d'Alba in Ancona province in the Marche; average colour depth; heady aromas of sour cherry, rosehip; medium body; drying tannins plus new oak; quite an amazing palate with ribeye; 13%, 2011. #marche #lacrima #morrodalba #DOC #contidibuscareto #rare

Perfume. The beginnings of grandmas closet at first then it opens up into a wonderful tea aroma. Bergamot/Earl Grey. Vintage 2013 but I doubt that matters.

Very aromatic, plummy juiciness, drying red fruit tannins, very tart on palate-blended with up to 10% montepulciano-potpourri-can be aired with a lot of gameyness-not so good with spice or tomatoes acidity

Varietal: lacrima Nero, dark ruby, high acid, labeled under 13% but #wine seems hot, balance?, big fruit, way too young, more oak $14.99 retail. Opened to awesome fruit purity and great spiciness. Really nice for $15
