Wine Description:
The Velenosi Querciantica Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore is a renowned red wine with deep historical roots in the Marche region, believed to have been appreciated by Federico Barbarossa during his siege of Ancona in the castle of Morro d'Alba. Embracing this rich history, Velenosi, a prominent winery showcasing the wines of Marche, produces an elegant and full-bodied version. Cultivated in San Marcello's vineyards, approximately 100-150 meters above sea level, the Lacrima grapes flourish in predominantly clayey soil. Harvested in September, the grapes undergo traditional vinification, fermenting on the skins for 20 days in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature. Following maturation in steel, the wine is bottled, creating a memorable and sophisticated experience marked by the fragrances of woodland fruits. The visual allure of ruby-red hues with purple undertones complements the intense aromas of wild berries and floral notes, predominantly rose hips and violets. The palate revels in a full-bodied, rounded, and captivating sensation, presenting a harmonious balance between taste and aroma. The Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore by Velenosi stands as a testament to their commitment to exceptional quality, reaching significant qualitative heights.

After harvesting and pressing the grapes, the wine is fermented in inert vessels to retain fruit purity and the delicate aromatics. The wine is aged for a short period in inert vessels prior to release as the winemaker is seeking to retain vibrancy of fruit without imparting oak spice or masking the pure varietal character.
