Orgiolo - Lacrima di Morro d'Alba DOC Superiore 2019

Marotti Campi is a family business at 100% In the middle of the 19th century the Marotti family bought the property in the Sant'Amico district of Morro d'Alba and built the villa as the center of the sharecropping company. From an excerpt of the Journal of Agriculture of 1886 we read about Cesare Marotti's first vineyard of "...8,000 plants placed at a distance of 1.20 meters by 1 meter in Gouyot system". At that time the main crop was wheat together with other arable crops, but over the years and with the generational changes, going along with the vocation of this land, has taken a predominantly viticultural address. In 1991 Giovanni Marotti Campi started a project to modernize the vineyards by rationalizing the production and concentrating it on the two most representative and typical grapes of the area, Verdicchio and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba. After a successful career as a manager, his passion for this land and for the family property pushed him to build the modern winery in 1999 and together with his wife Francesca and his son Lorenzo decided to bring new life and new energy to this place. Today it is still Giovanni who runs the winery together with Lorenzo and Francesca who also take care of the hospitality in the Vigna Sant'Amico Country House, a farmhouse created from the renovation of an old farmhouse surrounded by our vineyards.
