Tasting Notes

A fine example of Marche winemaking, this Serrapetrona DOC reflects generations of local expertise. Its 13% alcohol content supports a rounded, well-integrated style. Crafted from Vernaccia Nera 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards cultivated according to the Guyot system in a sandy calcareou soil at 450 m above sea level, faced to South. Vinification: alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is aged 4 months on the lees in steel tanks, 12 months in barriques and at least 12 in bottle. A wine reflecting the Marche region's balance of Adriatic influence and hillside terroir.
