It's off the beaten track - hardly any tourists, but one of the best hotel/restaurants we've been to is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.antico-borgo.it/#!staff/cssy"> Antico Borgo,</a> (about 20 miles from the coast) owned by our (now) friends, Fabrizio and Samira Facchini. We had a lot of great meals there. And some of the loveliest wines of Italy come from the Marche, particularly those from the <a rel="nofollow" href="../../../blog/120/brunori">Brunori family.</a> <br /><br />The Lacrima di Morro d'Alba <em>Alborada</em> is one of my favorites from the Brunori's tiny winery. Beautifully perfumed - reminding me of a theoretical blend of Vieille Vignes (old vines) <em>Chinon</em> from <a rel="nofollow" href="../../../../../blog/16/vignoble-gasnier">Fabrice Gasnier,</a> and <em>Morgon C&ocirc;te de Py</em> ( a rich, "cru" Beaujolais) from <a rel="nofollow" href="../../../../../blog/91/domaine-de-robert"> Domaine de Robert</a>. The wine, of course, has nothing to do with either; it's produced from the indigenous Lacrima (red) that grows within the boundaries of Morro di Alba near Ancona, on the Adriatic coast of Italy.<br /><br />I took out a bottle of this beautiful wine from my dwindling supplies (we get only one small shipment a year) to celebrate our first outdoor meal of the season - a perfectly-grilled, grass-fed ribeye, and a simple salad of arugula. Now, if I can just hold onto my last two bottles until the next vintage arrives.<br /><br />-DM </p> <p>Posted under <a href="/blog/staff-favorites">Staff Favorites</a></p> <h2>Wines you May Enjoy</h2> <div class="section" id="related_wines"> <div class="row "> <div class="col-xs-5 col-sm-3 col-md-2"> <a href="/inventory/21829015/verdicchio-dei-castelli-di-jesi-classico-superiore-san-nicol-brunori-2020/"> <img src="https://static2.moorebrothers.com/wine_labels/MBPOS_228.jpg" alt="" class="img-responsive"> </a> <div class="visible-xs"> <h4>$19.00</h4> <form method="GET" action="/cart/add/inventory/21829015"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Add to Cart</button> </form> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-6 col-md-7"> <h4><a href="/inventory/21829015/verdicchio-dei-castelli-di-jesi-classico-superiore-san-nicol-brunori-2020/">Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore San Nicolò Brunori 2020</a></h4> <p> <a href="/country/11/italy">Italy</a> - <a href="/producer/242/brunori">Brunori</a> - <a href="/grape/116/verdicchio">Verdicchio</a> </p> In the glass, the wine has a limpid, saturated, deep yellow-gold color, with flashes of green-gold at the edge.
