Lacrima di Morro d’Alba
Filter
Lacrima di Morro d’Alba is a distinctively aromatic red wine grape native to the Marche region of central Italy. Named for its tendency to "weep" teardrop-like drops of juice when fully ripe, this ancient variety was nearly extinct before a dedicated revival in the 1980s. The resulting wines are often celebrated for their floral notes and berry-forward characteristics.

Pulled from a Gentleman's cellar, all wines from this cellar have been purchased by the owner either from the importer or direct from winery. They stayed in his cellar until being moved to the Timeless Wines warehouse.
The word "Balade" is French for wandering. This is a fitting term for our annual exploration of single-vineyard Pinot Noir & Chardonnay blocks on the west coast. Each vintage, we will bottle only the most compelling and nuanced expression of pinot noir from a single selected vineyard and release it as a limited bottling.
Tasting Notes
Beautiful golden hue with enticing aromas of honeyed almond, vanilla custard, ripe pear, and hints of lemon zest. On the palate, lush notes of apricot, crisp green apple, and a touch of toasted hazelnut come forward. This wine has a well-balanced mouthfeel that dances on the palate with bright, lively acidity and subtle minerality, offering a stunning
expression of a coastal driven Chardonnay.
