The name “lacrima” (teardrop) almost certainly comes from the fact that, when the peel of Lacrima grapes comes to the point of ripeness, it splits and drips the juice. It is Marche’s indigenous vine par excellence, known since the Romans.
The Lacrima vine is highly versatile; it adapts well to classical vinification for the production of table wines, but it best expresses its potential with passito vinification. Despite the limited production, the pleasantness of this wine is the basis of its global success and the demand is constantly growing.
