Each variety was vinified separately following careful selection of the clusters and destemming of the grapes. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures and underwent maceration for eight to 10 days imparting colour, flavour and gentle tannins. After a gentle pressing, the wine was blended, then 80% was gently transferred to stainless steel tanks to retain the pure fruit flavour, while 20% was matured in French oak of second use to impart delicate complexity.
Smooth and approachable, with perfumed aromas of ripe cherry and hints of Morello cherry and a soft, fruity palate which is beautifully balanced by a fresh character with a touch of spice.

Winery | Rosso Piceno is the largest DOC of the Marche region located in Central Italy. The area is made up of hilly terrain, which is ideally suited to viticulture. The Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes come from a vineyard located 250 to 300 meters above Sealevel. The soils are based on clay, which combined with the sloping topography, is crucial for draining away excess soil moisture. A Mediterranean climate is found throughout DOC Rosso Piceno, with an average annual rainfall of 800 millimeters, mainly falling during the winter months, which builds water reserves in the soils, to nourish the vines throughout the typically hot and dry summers. The vineyards are cultivated following organic principles; herbicides and pesticides are not used, which allows for the full expression of the terroir. The grapes are manually harvested when they have reached optimal ripeness. |
