Description
What kind of wine it is
Roggio del Filare is a red wine that faithfully reflects the character of Rosso Piceno Superiore through a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese. Velenosi presents a wine with an enveloping structure and a persistent finish. In the glass, it displays a bright ruby colour with slight garnet highlights. The nose releases intense aromas of blackberry and cherry jam, enhanced by a delicate spiciness. On the palate, it stands out for its velvety texture, supported by ripe tannins that enhance its warm and fleshy harmony.
Where it comes from
This Marche red originates from estate-owned vineyards situated at around two hundred metres above sea level, cultivated using the Guyot system between the areas of Offida and Ascoli Piceno. The soils of the two zones complement each other harmoniously: the clay-based soils with calcareous veins of Offida provide strength and elegance, while the sandy and medium-textured soils of the Ascoli area accentuate the aromatic finesse of the grapes. These pedoclimatic conditions are optimal for bringing the grapes to full and defined phenolic ripeness.
How it is produced
Production begins in mid-October with manual harvesting, followed by a brief stay in cold rooms to preserve the aromatic precursors. After destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, with a twenty-day maceration on the skins supported by scheduled pump-overs. Maturation continues for eighteen months in new French oak barrels. This long ageing period allows the fruit and tannins to integrate perfectly, giving the wine its characteristic balance and depth.
History and Curiosities
Born in the Marche region from the dedication of Angela and Ercole Velenosi, the winery has been producing Roggio del Filare since 1993, the highest expression of Rosso Piceno Superiore DOC. This oenological masterpiece is made from Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes grown between Offida and Ascoli Piceno. Expertly aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, it develops a warm, velvety and vibrantly harmonious palate. Its quality is celebrated by the most prestigious Italian awards, including the renowned Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso, which consecrate it as a true champion.
