Bunch of Lacrima grapes
Lacrima is a red grape from The Marche region of central Italy. Lacrima means tears, some feel that the grape itself or the grape clusters resemble a teardrop. Others say that ripe Lacrima often burst open, releasing teardrops. In any case, Lacrima is the major component in the DOC wine Lacrime di Morro d'Alba, or Tears of the Moor of Alba. In the Calabria region of southern Italy, Lacrima is sometimes called Gaglioppo.
Lagrein is a well-known red grape from the Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy. The best Lagrein wines taste of alpine grass, black plums, and red cherries. Remember that many people in this region of Italy speak German. Lagrein is known for making dunkel (red) and aromatic kretzner (rosé) wines. See I Love Italian Wine and Food - Vino Novello (New Wine) for a review of a Lagrein wine.
Lambrusco
Lambrusco is a red grape variety found in the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions of northern Italian. It is thought to be a wild native grape (vitis silvestris in Latin) first domesticated by the Etruscans in pre-Roman times. It makes a rather unusual aromatic red foaming wine that’s dry or semi-sweet, and some still wines that are not at all unusual.
