De Angelis, Rosso Piceno Superiore 2019

Montepulciano/Sangiovese. Certified organic. Classic, dark, somewhat brooding, blend of the 2 most important red grapes in Le Marche. Excellent food wine. This family-run estate is situated in Castel di Lama in the Ascoli Piceno region, in southernmost Marche, with vineyard holdings (45 ha) straddling the Abruzzo line. The main vineyard, in Offida, is hilly (280m-350m), with eastern exposure and a loose clay soil. First planted in the 1950s, the winery is managed today by proprietor/winemaker Quinto Fausti and his son Alighiero.
