Rosso Piceno DOC Superiore
San Basso
The Rosso Piceno Superiore originates from a distinctly defined area. These are the years when, each time we return home after traveling, experiencing, and studying other realities, we begin to look around with fresh eyes.
Perhaps
a touch of nostalgia was necessary, or maybe we needed
to escape the protective familiarity of places where every detail is known. Like children, we gaze upon our hills with explorative eyes, marveling at the beauty of landscapes
that time had accustomed us to. Ripe black plums, sour cherries, wild blackberries, violets, and fresh hints
of rosemary define a wine that faithfully tells the story
of its land, unveiling its most enchanting, captivating,
and passionate facets.
