APPELATION: Rosso Piceno DOC
GRAPE VARIETIES: 50% Montepulciano, 50% Sangiovese

It is the triumph of red and spontaneity, of color over monotony, of luxuriant vegetation over summer heat. This is why the poppy is the symbol of our Rosso Piceno DOC.

The Rosso Piceno is the wine of our countryside, the wine of our peasant tradition, the wine of sharecropping. Back then, there was no talk of blends; wine was not made to be sold but to be enjoyed. There was only one purpose: to bring a good bottle of red wine to the table every day. Each family decided whether and for how long to age it in barrels, but one thing was certain. Those barrels
contained two grape varieties: Montepulciano and Sangiovese. Today, just as in the past, we present that combination of two grapes that have always been together. With its exuberant nature, this wine tells of a landscape painted in bright tones: raspberries, cyclamens, violets. It surprises with a gently spicy touch of pink pepper in the finish, refreshing and inviting to fill the glasses.
