Marotti Campi, Rubico, Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, 2020

Lorenzo Marotti Campi’s family, winegrowers since the late-19th century, believed in this rare gem, a jewel of the region’s winemaking made from a grape that once faced extinction. The mixed clayey soil of Morro d’Alba is the perfect terroir for this variety. Its scents are evocative: wonderfully intense rose, cherry, bramble and citrus. Charming in its apparent simplicity, its succulent, balanced structure is pleasingly tannic and irresistible in the mouth.
