Descrizione

The Rosso Conero DOC by Libenzi "Zizzero" is a true expression of the Marche region, born from the vineyards that embrace the slopes of Mount Conero, near the Adriatic coast. This wine comes from a meticulous selection of Montepulciano grapes, which find an ideal habitat in this area thanks to the mild climate and the beneficial marine influence.

"Zizzero" stands out for its intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable, which hints at a complex aromatic bouquet. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits, such as blackberries and raspberries, emerge, enriched by nuances of sweet spices, vanilla, and a slight touch of tobacco, deriving from wood aging.

On the palate, the wine demonstrates a robust yet balanced structure, with well-integrated tannins and a pleasant freshness that invites a second sip. The passage in oak barrels enriches its complexity without overpowering the fruit, giving the wine an elegant evolution on the palate and a persistent finish.

Libenzi's Rosso Conero "Zizzero" is ideal for pairing with grilled red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses. Its robustness also makes it perfect for bold pairings with richly seasoned and flavorful dishes.

This wine not only embodies the passion and winemaking tradition of the Libenzi family but also offers a sensory experience that reflects the essence of the Marche region. An excellent choice for those seeking character and authenticity in a wine.
