Velenosi Brecciarolo, Rosso Piceno Superiore The Year of the Rabbit

Rosso Piceno Superiore is one of the most interesting d.o.c. wines of Central Italy. Rosso Piceno is produced in a rather vast hilly area of the Marches, but it is only in a very limited zone within the province of Ascoli Piceno that this wine, made from Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes, can boast the "Superior" qualification. This is due to the special microclimatic and pedologic conditions of this territory, which extends over fourteen municipalities of this province. Since we believe in the potentials of this wine, which is also popular among foreign consumers, we have tried to make the most of them, in the observance of tradition and, at the same time, through a modern interpretation. The result is convincing: Rosso Piceno Superiore Brecciarolo is an important, full-bodied wine capable of lasting for several years, but it is also characterized by a soft and pleasant taste, thanks to the ageing in oak casks. The ideal temperature for drinking is 18° C; its perfume is complex and structured, the flavour is ample and harmonious, improving with age.
