\nMy recent trek to the region of Ancona<\/a> in the province of Le Marche led to the discovery of a few culinary delights.. Il Lacrima di MorroD’Alba …the locals call it\u00a0 the ‘little prince’ of red wines<\/a> in the region..
\nYou can find the vines for this particular wine grown in the hills of Morro D’Alba<\/a> and nearby towns of Senegallia and Jesi<\/a>. Il Lacrima is really unique and different from the more well known reds, not full\u00a0of tannins<\/a> but very fragrant. More of a new wine ,not particularly aged. It is not presented as\u00a0\u00a0a noble wine but considered the ‘little prince’ of wines..’profumatissime’ (very fragrant) and charming, endearing to the senses..
\nWhen it comes to wine not everyone appreciates those characteristics..but many are curious to taste it and slowly fall in love with\u00a0this wine’s\u00a0endearing qualities.
\nAt one time, Il Lacrima, in the ‘novella’ stage, was the wine\u00a0of the peasants,they would use it to accompany their grilled meats\u00a0eaten while on break working in the fields. They could not wait for the juice to finish aging and would pour it directly from the barrels into bottles. So it is popular to this day as a new wine…more remnants of cucina povere…
\nIl Lacrima can be found for sale usually after the 15th of December quickly after the vendemmia of that year.
\nGreat wine to accompany local pasta<\/a> or meat dishes..recipes to follow soon..
