The wine

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Rose, geranium and violet perfumes with depth.

Lacrima di Morro d Alba is a Marche rarity, grown on a handful of hectares around one village, and it is among the most floral red grapes anywhere: the rose and geranium are the variety, not the winemaking. No relation to Alba in Piedmont. Cantine Belisario is the co-operative of Matelica, deep inland in the Marche, and much the largest holder of Verdicchio di Matelica.

The producer

High in the cool inland valleys of the Marche, Cantine Belisario is the guardian of Verdicchio di Matelica, one of central Italy's most distinguished white wines. Grown far from the sea in a natural amphitheatre of hills, these Verdicchios have a mineral tension and freshness all their own.

From fresh everyday whites to the age-worthy Cambrugiano Riserva, the range shows the grape's remarkable breadth. Alongside them sit characterful Marche reds, from perfumed Lacrima to structured Rosso Conero, each true to its origin.

Precise, mineral and beautifully made, these are among Italy's great white-wine bargains. Matelica is a hidden corner of the wine world, and Belisario is its most eloquent voice.

Serve the whites well chilled and the reds cool, and discover one of Italy's most rewarding and overlooked regions.
