Marche Rosso IGT

Variety
Wine obtained from the grapes Montepulciano (50%) Merlot (35%) and Cabernet-Sauvignon (15%).

Production tecniques
Grapes are scrupulously selected during the collection of the bunches, that are carried out by hand in plastic crates.
Destemming and fermentation at controlled temperature. Maceration of skins for about 3 weeks, and then a natural malolactic fermentation.
Ages for 2 years in Rovere barrles of little size in a first moment (225 and 500 litres) and in a bigger barrel (2.500 litres) in a second moment, then in bottle for another 6 months.

Colour
Wonderful deep ruby red color with violet tins, that became orange reflections with the passing of time.

Aromatic notes
An intense rich bouquet of ripe red fruit, plum, cherry, red pepper elegantly framed by the aromas of aging such as smoke and pepper.

Tasting notes
A very soft wine with a delicate taste, despite its great structure. The wine is immediately wrapping with a lingering after-taste of fruit and plum. A very long and aromatic finish.

Food pairing
Perfect with red meat dishes as pork, lamb and hunting. We suggest: braised beef coocked with red wine.
First courses with strong sauces. We suggest: rise with roast beef.
Cold cuts and strong cheeses as Parmigiano.
Must try with a check of dark chocolate.

It's recomended the use of the decanter and to open the bottle at least one hour before consumption.
