“Rubico” is a Lacrima di Morro d'Alba produced by Marotti Campi, one of the most important brands of Marche wine, which manages an estate of 120 hectares, about half of which is dedicated to viticulture. The Lacrima vineyards are located in the hilly area surrounding Morro d’Alba and are cultivated at an altitude of 180 meters above sea level with a sunny exposure facing south and southeast. The soils are medium-textured, with a good percentage of clay, particularly suitable for red grape varieties. The harvest is carried out manually using small crates, around mid-September. The grapes are fermented with 10% of the grapes undergoing carbonic maceration and the remaining 90% undergoing traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature with skin maceration. The aging, which precedes bottling, takes place for several months in steel tanks.
