Lacrima

Frequent and confusing component of grape variety names or synonyms in Italy, Greece (Lakrima), Portugal (Lagrima), Lágrima (Spain) and South America. The name (Lacrima/Lágrima = tears or tears of Christ) refers to the fact that when the berries are fully ripe, juice is released (tears are wept). It is not a group of varieties, but mostly unrelated vines. However, Lácrima or Lagrima can also refer to a wine (see below).
