Descrizione

The Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC "Fonte del Re" from Umani Ronchi offers a fragrant, distinctive profile linked to the grape variety that names the denomination. The colour shows ruby with violet reflections; on the nose there are floral notes of fresh petals, fruity impressions of strawberry, raspberry and small red fruits, with spicy hints and sometimes a subtle mineral touch. Intensity is moderately pronounced, the palate lean and flowing, supported by lively acidity and soft tannins that contribute to a balanced, pleasant finish without weighing it down.

It is best enjoyed relatively young and pairs well with everyday dishes: not overly aged cured meats, pasta with delicate tomato sauces, light white meats and fresh cheeses. To enhance aromas, serve at moderate temperature in wide glasses; brief aeration can help open the aromas. Sensory indications and pairings are general and do not replace the specific information provided by the producer.
