Macrina was one of the first Verdicchio wines bottled in a Bordeaux-style bottle, signaling a new style of Verdicchio more modern than the wines formerly produced in amphora-shaped bottles. The wine uses slightly late-harvested grapes to give it more body and longevity. The name Macrina comes from Saint Macrina, whose likeness was in a votive shrine near the vineyard where people from the farms used to pray.
