Descrizione

Samarcanda Garofanata IGT Marche by Fontezoppa is an intense and harmonious wine born in the suggestive hills of Marche, where the temperate climate and limestone soils favor the authentic expression of the grape variety. This blend is characterized by a careful selection of grapes that give the wine an elegant structure and a complex aromatic profile. The aging in oak barrels imparts a delicate spicy note, enriching the bouquet with hints of clove, from which it takes its name, along with aromas of ripe red fruits and a pleasant minerality. On the palate it is balanced, with soft tannins and a vibrant freshness that pairs excellently with dishes based on red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Samarcanda Garofanata embodies the passion for the territory and the artisanal care of Fontezoppa, offering a refined and enveloping sensory experience, perfect for those seeking the authentic elegance of the Marche.

Winery history

According to company sources and informational materials, Fontezoppa was established in the late 1990s to showcase the vineyards of the hills between sea and mountains. Ownership and management are tied to the Luzi family; the business has developed by combining native varieties and international cultivars, with an approach that also encompasses wine tourism experiences.

Production philosophy

The estate places its relationship with the land at the center: site-specific viticultural practices, winemaking that seeks to express the characteristics of each grape variety, and an approach focused on quality, hospitality and sustainable practices, with projects to convert to organic farming reported in the sources.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located between Civitanova Alta and the area of Serrapetrona, in the Marche hinterland between the Adriatic coast and the Monti Azzurri. The soils are described as having a calcarenitic/sandy-calcareous matrix; altitudes and microclimate vary between the coastal hills and the mountain slopes where Vernaccia Nera is traditionally grown.
