Descrizione

Rosso Piceno DOC Maschio da Monte by Santa Barbara is an approachable red wine intended for everyday drinking but also suitable for informal occasions. It shows a straightforward aromatic profile, with notes of ripe red fruit, light spice and a slightly herbal background. On the palate it has medium body, soft tannins and balanced acidity that give a pleasant freshness. The finish is clean and not overly long, suited to those who prefer an immediate, easy-to-pair style.

It pairs with cold cuts, dishes based on white meat, pasta with simple sauces and medium-aged cheeses; it is also well suited to pizza and homestyle traditional dishes. Serve at around 16–18 °C in wide glasses to better appreciate the aromatic profile; it can benefit from a few minutes of aeration after opening. For online purchases, store the bottle in a cool, light-protected place and consume it within a reasonable time to maintain its organoleptic balance.

Winery history

The winery and its name are tied to the village of Barbara; the production site occupies an old monastery. Stefano Antonucci, from the area, leads the company — after a banking career he returned to Barbara to grow the family wine business and launch labels such as Pignocco and other experimental wines.

Production philosophy

Passion and innovation, respect for the land and grapes. The estate often makes experimental yet drinkable wines: “to make the wine that I like first of all, a wine for the drinker.” Organic practices are used for some labels, including Back to Basics.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Barbara (province of Ancona), Marche. Vineyards on hills around 260 m a.s.l.; clayey soils, northwest exposure. Appellation: Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (DOC).
