1, 6, 12

A beautifully aromatic Italian red wine from the Marche region, made entirely from the rare Lacrima grape. Floral, fruity and silky — the perfect wine for people who love something expressive but not heavy.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Bright ruby with violet reflections.
Aromas: Rose petals, cherries, red berries, violets, soft spices.
Taste: Smooth, medium-bodied, gently spicy and very aromatic. Expect red cherries, wild berries and floral notes with a fresh, elegant finish.

Where It’s From

Morro d’Alba sits in the hills close to Italy’s Adriatic coast. The Lacrima grape grows almost exclusively here and is known for its perfume-like aromas.
“Lacrima” means tear, referring to the little drops of juice that form on the grapes when fully ripe.

Food Pairing

This wine is extremely versatile. It pairs beautifully with:

  • Lamb chops, lamb shoulder or roast lamb

  • Beef dishes: steak, roast beef, burgers

  • Tomato-based pastas (ragù, lasagne, arrabbiata)

  • Mushroom risotto or roasted vegetables

  • Mature cheeses – pecorino, parmesan, strong cheddar

Its floral fruitiness also makes it lovely as a relaxed aperitivo wine.

How to Serve

  • Serve at 16–18°C

  • Decant for 15–20 minutes to open the floral aromas

  • Drink now or keep for 3–5 years

Why This Wine Stands Out

  • Made from 100% Lacrima, one of Italy’s rarest grapes

  • Intensely aromatic, floral and fruity

  • Easy-drinking but full of character

  • Perfect for dinners, date nights or gifting

  • A memorable alternative to Chianti and other common Italian reds

Real questions our customers ask.
What makes Vicari Essenza del Pozzo Buono Lacrima di Morro d'Alba unique?
This Italian red is crafted entirely from the rare Lacrima grape, native almost exclusively to Morro d’Alba in the Marche region. Its bright ruby colour with violet reflections matches its intensely aromatic profile, featuring rose petals, cherries, red berries, violets and soft spices. The wine is smooth, medium-bodied with a gentle spice and an elegant, fresh finish, perfect for those seeking expressive yet light red wine.
How should I serve and enjoy this Lacrima di Morro d'Alba wine?
Serve this wine slightly chilled between 16-18°C and decant it for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the delicate floral aromas to fully open. It can be enjoyed now for its fresh vibrancy or cellared for 3 to 5 years if you prefer more developed complexity. Its smooth texture and aromatic finesse make it ideal for relaxed sipping or complementing vibrant dishes.
What dishes pair best with Vicari Essenza del Pozzo Buono Lacrima di Morro d'Alba?
This wine shines alongside rich lamb—be it chops, shoulder or roast—and pairs wonderfully with beef dishes like steak, roast beef or burgers. Its bright acidity and floral fruitiness also complement tomato-based pastas such as ragù, lasagne or arrabbiata, as well as mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables, and mature cheeses including pecorino, parmesan and sharp cheddar. It’s equally enjoyable as an aperitivo for lighter moments.
Did you know why the grape Lacrima is named so and why it’s special?
‘Lacrima’ means ‘tear’ in Italian, referring to the tiny drops of juice that form on the grapes when fully ripe, almost as if they’re crying. This unusual grape is almost exclusively grown around Morro d’Alba near Italy’s Adriatic coast, and is prized for producing intensely aromatic, floral wines that are a memorable alternative to more common Italian reds like Chianti.
