Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore QUERCIANTICA DOC VELENOSI

The Lacrima di Morro d'Alba Superiore “Querciantica” DOC from Cantina Velenosi is one of the most intense and elegant interpretations of this historic native grape variety from the Marche region. The grapes come from vineyards located in the hills around Morro d'Alba, in the province of Ancona, an area characterized by clay soils and a climate tempered by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea, ideal conditions to promote the full aromatic ripening of Lacrima. The harvest is done manually with careful selection of the best bunches. After destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a long maceration on the skins, aimed at extracting color, structure and aromatic complexity. The wine then undergoes a period of aging in wood and bottles, which helps enrich its balance and depth of taste.
