Quick Facts
Denomination: Conero Riserva DOCG
Grape Variety: 100% Montepulciano
Production Area: Marche, Osimo (Ancona) — Vineyards at 150-200 meters above sea level, south-east exposure.
Soil Type: Very deep, chalky loam with ancient marine origins.
Tasting Notes
Color: Deep ruby red enhanced by elegant garnet reflections.
Nose: An intense, rich bouquet opening with ripe plum, blackcurrant, and morello cherry, leading into sophisticated spicy notes of black pepper, vanilla, and sweet tobacco.
Palate: Soft, enfolding, and remarkably smooth. The well-integrated tannins carry the wine into a pleasantly dry, persistent, and elegant finish.
Winemaking & Aging
Vineyard Philosophy: Yields are kept strictly low (6-8 tons per hectare) through precise pruning and targeted cluster thinning to ensure maximum fruit concentration and quality.
The grapes are exclusively hand-picked in mid-to-late October, ensuring peak phenolic ripeness. After temperature-controlled steel tank fermentation with natural yeasts (12-14 days) and the completion of malolactic fermentation, the true maturation begins.
The wine ages in 225-liter oak barriques for 12-14 months, followed by an additional 6-8 months of bottle aging in a temperature-controlled environment before release.
Serving & Pairing Guide
Perfect Pairings: An outstanding companion for rare-cooked red meats, game birds, and mature, structured cheeses.
Serving Temperature: 16-18 °C
Recommended Glass: A large, broad-bodied glass. This allows proper oxygenation for a long-aged red, softening the tannins and concentrating the complex tertiary aromas toward the opening.
Available Format: 75 cl
