The Vicari Nazzareno e Vico S.S. Azienda Agricola is located in Morro D'Alba on Via Pozzo Buono, the same street once used by the town inhabitants to go and draw drinking water from a large well, which still exists today. It is a small company that cultivates its vines and harvests its grapes, with dedication and wisdom to recapture the quality of the memory of the wines themselves.

The excellent "Lacrima" autochthonous vineyards have always been a part of this farm and in the past it was used to "flavour" the other red wines. Today, it is used pure to make a ruby red wine with a fruity aroma, in which violets and woodland fruits blend in absolute harmony.

Its pleasantly dry flavour is the perfect accompaniment for a lot of dishes with meat or pasta dishes with full-bodied, strong sauces.

The soil is mixed, with mostly clay. The altitude is 170 m. The grapes are hand-harvested and the ageing is done in stainless steel vats.
