Description
What kind of wine it is
Extraordinary is a still red wine from the Marche region, created from a blend of Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Lacrima. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour, enhanced by lively violet reflections. The aromatic profile is deep and enveloping, dominated by notes of blackberry, cherry and strawberry, enriched with hints of white pepper and balsamic nuances of eucalyptus. On the palate, it is fresh and elegant, standing out for its powerful sip and remarkable gustatory progression. Its very fine tannic texture is complemented by a fruity finish, making it ideal for pairing with grilled red meats, porcini risottos and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from vineyards rooted in clay and limestone soils located in the municipalities of Monteprandone and Morro d’Alba. This particular geological formation, combined with an altitude between 200 and 250 metres, gives the wine a solid structure and precise aromatic definition. The Guyot training system promotes excellent vegetative balance to ensure regular ripening of the bunches. The Velenosi winery tends these vineyards with great care, aiming to fully enhance the native varieties to offer an authentic expression of the territory.
How it is produced
Production begins with a meticulous manual harvest, carried out at the beginning of September for Lacrima and Sangiovese and at the end of the month for Montepulciano. Each variety undergoes a separate fermentation in steel with macerations designed to extract the best characteristics of each grape. The wines rest individually in stainless steel tanks, with no use of barrels to preserve the absolute freshness of the primary aromas. The process concludes with blending and a bottle ageing of three months, a fundamental step to harmonise the entire organoleptic profile.
History and Curiosities
Born in 1984 from the passion of Angela and Ercole Velenosi, this seductive Marche IGT tells the story of the evolution of a winery devoted to excellence. The Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Lacrima grapes, carefully selected and hand-harvested, ferment separately in steel to enhance the purity of the terroir. After a meticulous blending and a measured period of bottle ageing, the wine reveals a character that has been awarded 92 points by James Suckling. Presented in an iconic golden bottle, it embodies an idea of affordable luxury, ideal for making every special occasion unforgettable.
