Lacrima di Morro d' Alba "Orgiolo" is named after the medieval Castle located in Sant' Amico of Morro d' Alba, an enchanting village in the center of the Lacrima DOC territory. The Lacrima is an ancient indigenous varietal with aromatic qualities and is cultivated in a very restricted area. The maturation of the grapes is characterized by an evident "lacrima" (teardrop) of juice which oozes out of very ripe grapes. Orgiolo is the product of carefully selected grapes and long aging in wooden barrels. Characterized by its intense bouquet with hints of berries, violets, vanilla and roasted coffee, it is a typical expression of the Lacrima grape. Soft, velvety, and full-flavored, this wine is best served with pasta and rice dishes, grilled red meats or roasted white meats.
