Rosso Piceno DOC
Tarà
The Rosso Piceno is the wine of our countryside, the wine of our peasant tradition, the wine of sharecropping. Back then, there was no talk of blends; wine was not made to be sold but to be enjoyed. There was only one purpose: to bring a good bottle of red wine to the table every day.
Each family decided whether and for how long to age
it in barrels, but one thing was certain. Those barrels contained two grape varieties: Montepulciano and Sangiovese. Today, just as in the past, we present that combination of two grapes that have always been together. With its exuberant nature, this wine tells of a landscape painted in bright tones: raspberries, cyclamens, violets.
It surprises with a gently spicy touch of pink pepper in the finish, refreshing and inviting to fill the glasses.
