Marche IGT Rosso
It’s a red wine made by the vinification of selected Sangiovese grapes with a blend of autochthonous Merlot and Petit Verdot coming from our vineyards of Matelica. Low yield production per hectare allows us to obtain a very complex and full bodied wine. Aged for one year in wooden barrels and almost 6 months in the bottle.
