Description
Not a few people consider Rosso Piceno Superiore to be one of the most interesting d.o.c. wines of Central Italy. Rosso Piceno is produced in a fairly large area of the hilly Marche region, but it is only in a restricted area within the province of Ascoli Piceno that this wine, made from Sangiovese and Montepulciano grapes, can boast the "Superiore" designation. This is due to the special microclimatic and soil conditions of the area in question, which stretches across fourteen Piceno municipalities. Convinced of the considerable potential of this wine, which many foreign consumers have also shown their appreciation for, we have tried to make the most of it, respecting its tradition and, at the same time, interpreting it in a modern way. The result seems convincing to us: Rosso Piceno Superiore Brecciarolo is an important wine, full-bodied and able to last at its best for several years, but it is also endowed with softness and good drinkability, thanks to its ageing in oak barrels. The ideal temperature for drinking it is around 18°C; the aromas are complex and varied, the taste broad and harmonious, to the point of being enveloping with age.

The heart of the company is located in the historic city of Ascoli Piceno, which is located in the region Marche at a distance of about 20 km from Adriatic Sea and at a height of 150/200 m above sea level.
The company's farms extend across the hills that surround the splendid valley of the Tronto river, which, thanks to its clayey and fertile soils, has always been suited to the cultivation of vines.
In addition to the four companies located in Ascoli Piceno, Castorano, Monsampolo del Tronto and Castel di Lama, there is a vineyard in the area of ??Ancarano (TE) and in the area of ??San Marcello (AN), between the Castelli di Jesi.
Since the beginning, the winery has achieved great success with journalistic criticism published in the most renowned national and international newspapers such as: W, Robert Parker, Red shrimp, Luca Maroni, AIS and many others.
This is why it is present throughout the national territory with the collaboration of 85 agencies and abroad where it is present in 52 nations both in Europe and in the rest of the world.
Production to date is approximately 2.500.000 bottles and the expectations certainly don't stop there. Read more
