The Rosso Piceno DOC produced by the Velenosi winery is a wine that embodies the richness and winemaking tradition of the Marche region. This elegant red wine results from a skillful blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes, hand-harvested from the hills of Ascoli, where the climate and soil impart a distinctive character to the beverage.

Once in the winery, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation, followed by maturation that varies between stainless steel and wood, depending on the character Velenosi wishes to impart to this wine. This process ensures an ideal balance between fruity freshness and complexity derived from aging.

To the eye, Rosso Piceno DOC displays an intense ruby red color, with reflections that trend toward violet. The nose is welcomed by a bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, enriched with nuances of sweet spices and a slight hint of vanilla.

On the palate, the wine reveals itself as structured yet harmonious. The entry is smooth, with well-balanced tannins and a lively acidity that promises a pleasant sip. The ideal pairing includes dishes from the Marche cuisine such as roasts, game, and medium-aged cheeses.

Ultimately, the Rosso Piceno DOC from Velenosi is an excellent choice for those seeking a wine that represents the terroir and passion of Italian wine. Perfect for a formal dinner or as a gift for an Italian wine enthusiast.
