Rosso Piceno Superiore 'Brecciarolo' Velenosi 2022

Rosso Piceno Superiore "Brecciarolo" Velenosi is a wine with an intense character, in which a perfect gustatory correspondence between nose and taste is noticeable. We are therefore faced with a bottle that is easy to drink, but without renouncing a drink with personality, in which the evolution of the aromas on the nose in the space of a few seconds is striking, capable of changing touching different notes, from the most varietal to tertiary. Montepulciano and Sangiovese combine in a quality cut, which becomes even more fascinating when designed to accompany food on the table on a daily basis.

"Brecciarolo" Rosso Piceno Superiore is made by the Velenosi winery from 70% Montepulciano, to which is added 30% Sangiovese. The vines of these two varieties grow in vineyards located near the towns of Offida and Ascoli Piceno, about 200-300 meters above sea level. We are located in a clayey terroir, which tends to be calcareous. The must ferments in steel containers with a capacity of 200 hectoliters, equipped with a system for pumping over and constant temperature control. Maceration on the skin lasts 20 days. It is then transferred to second-passage barriques, where it rests for 18 months.

This Rosso Piceno Superiore "Brecciarolo" Velenosi announces itself to the eye with a deep and intense ruby colour, crossed by some light reflections tending more toward garnet in the rim. The nose moves on a track of concentrated notes, where the pulp of red fruits mixes with spicy scents and hints of fresh violets. In the mouth, it enters with a firm structure endowed with excellent persistence and a warm, balanced sip. A label that, given its more than advantageous price and the accolades it has won over the years, is a serious candidate for a red for everyday consumption. Try it and see if you can do without it!
