More questions
Carapetto Cabernet Sauvignon IGT Marche by Fontezoppa is born in the heart of the Marche hills, where the temperate climate and thermal excursions favor the balanced ripening of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. This wine, an authentic expression of the internationally cultivated grape variety, presents an intense ruby red color with violet reflections.
On the nose, it opens with complex aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy and vanilla notes, due to the brief aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it is enveloping and smooth, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without heaviness, balanced by a pleasant final freshness.
Perfect with red meats, roasts, or aged cheeses, this Carapetto embodies the decisive and at the same time elegant character of the IGT Marche denomination, ideal for accompanying the most important convivial moments.

The story
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.
