It is created from a \u003cstrong\u003eblend of grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which gives it a significant and bold structure. On the nose, it reveals notes of blackberry, raspberry and ripe cherry, followed by hints of red pepper, menthol and a touch of \u003cstrong\u003emineral graphite\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it stands out for its immediate smoothness and \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a harmonious drink with remarkable persistence of flavour, the result of steel vinification and ageing in barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vines grow on the hills of Barbara, in the province of Ancona, between the Misa and Nevola rivers. At around two hundred and sixty metres above sea level, the rows benefit from their proximity to the Adriatic Sea and optimal north-east exposure. The \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured soils\u003c\/strong\u003e are notably rich in stones and rocky fragments. This pedoclimatic environment gives the grapes a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e, encouraging the development of grapes ideal for a wine with a \u003cstrong\u003emeasured structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and a strong sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003espurred cordon\u003c\/strong\u003e training system ensures the grapes ripen correctly. After careful vinification in stainless steel, which helps preserve the aromatic integrity, the wine undergoes a targeted period of ageing in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This maturation perfects the integration of the tannic component and enriches the flavour profile. Served at 18°C, it is an excellent accompaniment for \u003cstrong\u003ebraised red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game dishes and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1984 from the passion of the Antonucci family, \u003cstrong\u003ePathos di Santa Barbara\u003c\/strong\u003e combines authentic Marche tradition with a bold spirit of innovation.
