Product Description
Mancinelli Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is 100% Lacrima di Morro d’Alba
Lacrima di Morro d’Alba takes its name from an unusual grape which was named for the town around which it is grown. Morro comes from “Mur” or “Muro” (wall) and not “Moro” (Moor) or black. The name Alba refers not to the town in Alba in Piedmont but to “Altura” which means “rise or high ground” . Il Muro in Alto or the wall on high which was how this walled Medieval walled Borgo (town) was referred to in Medieval times.
Deep dark ruby red with violet reflections. Intense bouquet full of roses, violets and red berries. Vinous and dry with soft fruit and a velvety body.
Pairs with salami, grilled and roasted meats, mushroom dishes, lasagne, gorgonzola and sharp cheeses.
Winery: Mancinelli
In the early 1980s a young Stefano Mancinelli recognized the amazing potential of a local red grape that was all but extinct. Its tendency to develop fissures in the skin and drip precious juice when it is optimally ripe earned it the name lacrima (tears) it also earned it the disdain of the local growers who could not be bothered with this difficult grape. Stefano is specialized in Lacrima di Morro d’Alba and has a outside laboratory certify that his Lacrimas are 100%. A little Lacrima goes a long way and more unscrupulous growers are adding 15% into their Montepulciano or Sangiovese and marketing it as 100%.
But not Stefano who makes several versions of Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, all of them deeply colored ruby red wines with exotic bouquets of rose petal and violets.
Stefano Mancinelli, together with his son, Luca, insists on having complete control of his production from the vines and olive trees to the bottle. He takes complete responsibility for the quality of the bottles that bear his name.

Rudi Pichler Grüner Veltliner Ried Achleithen Smaragd 2023 is made from 100% Grüner Veltliner.
Grüner Veltliner is the signature grape of Austria and produces a dry white wine with savory aromas, spicy flavors, and good acidity. Grüner Veltliner Smaragd from the Wachau is a full-bodied wine and is rich in style with notes of stone fruit, lemon, radish, and arugula.
Grüner Veltliner’s bright acidity and savory character make it an ideal partner to mildly spiced Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese flavors. Fish and shellfish are accented by Grüner Veltliner’s citrus and mineral profile while its acidity cuts the richness of pork or ham. It can also work well with foods that are difficult to pair such as bitter greens and asparagus.
Review:
#13 in Top 100 Wines of Austria, 2024. Such an expressive and elegant gruner veltliner. Yes, it has those classic peppery aromas on the medium-bodied palate, but there’s also an entire floral dimension that makes it stand out so prominently. Then comes the extremely long, silky and refined finish that’s incredibly sensuous. Sustainable. Drink or hold.

Review:
The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino presents an enticing bouquet of crushed violet, lavender, wet stone and citrus-laced blackberries. It's silken but lifted and mineral-intense, with citrus-infused blackberry fruits that slowly saturate. Sweet tannins frame the finish, as the 2023 leaves a youthful impression and a concentrated, tactile mineral crunch.

Maranones 30.000 Maravedies Vinos de Madrid Sierra Gredos is made from 90% Garnacha and 10% local grape varietals called Morenillo (Morate).
“The first of our red wines would be 30,000 maravedíes, which is our Comarca wine, a regional wine, village wine.
30,000 maravedíes is the coming together of all soils, orientations, dominantly Garnacha at 90 percent with a remaining 10 percent of local grapes.
The name also reflects the union between history, the winery, the structure and the place. Álvaro de Luna paid 30,000 maravedíes to buy the whole region from the monks who fostered the cultivation of the vine. It is a historical name. It refers to what was paid for the Valley and pays homage to the Valley. It also evokes what the monks had developed. This history is part of our heritage and we continue it.
This village wine wants to tell you the whole history of the Valley. At the end it delivers a structure tending towards the mineral, the floral, length, fruitiness and ease of drinking.”
30-70 year-old vines produce a vibrant, fresh wine that boasts juicy red berry, wild herb, flower and balsamic flavors with hints of sweet spice. Smooth tannins provide finesse and longevity.
Review:
Cherry liqueur, strawberries with herbal, underbrush, lavender and blood orange. The palate is medium- bodied with tender, ethereal fruit and a saline, ethereal touch. Drink or hold.

The entry-level red is the 2023 30.000 Maravedíes, a regional red produced with Garnacha from very different parts of San Martín de Valdeiglesias. It's a village wine from the lower altitude vineyards, some in the estate and some others in the valley floor. They work a lot in the vineyards to protect the grapes from the sun to achieve a more balanced ripeness. It fermented with 100% full clusters in stainless steel and oak vats by plot with a maceration of around 15 days, finishing fermenting without skins in barrels and foudres, where the wine matured. It's the palest of the reds, a delicate and perfumed light red, silky and ethereal with a very fine texture, sandy rather than granitic. It comes in at 14% alcohol and with very good balance. 13,186 bottles and 100 magnums produced. It was bottled in April 2025.

The 2023 Garnacha Tinta 30 Mil Maravedíes is a Vino de Paraje from San Martín de Valdeiglesias. It was sourced from four valley-floor and hillside parcels and fermented with 100% whole bunch. The 2023 shows bright red fruit with hints of pomegranate and strawberry. The tannins are fine and lightly reactive. This is a modern Garnacha.

Poggio Nardone Rosso di Montalcino is 100 percent Sangiovese Grosso.
Intense ruby red color with garnet tints.
Intense and delicate aromas of fresh fruits with notes of cherry.
Dry red wine with a good strength and freshness, along with a nice aromatic persistence.
The 5 hectares of specialized vineyards in Montalcino are at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level and are surrounded by woodlands of ilex, oak and arbutus which are characteristic of Montalcino’s hillside habitat. The soil is predominantly composed of marl and limestone which renders this terrain particularly rich in mineral salts.
Pairs well with pasta prepared with meat sauces, mushrooms or truffles; complex rice, main courses of pork or veal with sauces.
Review:
The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino unleashes an enticing, complex bouquet of crushed blackberries, rubbed sage and a hint of gravel dust. The palate balances ripe cherries and strawberries with tantalizing acidity and a tactile mineral core. A contrasting note of sour citrus and tart cranberry emerges on the finish.
