Delicious red quality wine from the beautiful winery Velenosi from the Marche . This Roggio Del Filare is made from 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese grapes. The wine is brilliant, shiny ruby red in color with light garnet hues and is intense and complex on the nose due to the penetrating scents of dark, ripe fruit such as plums and blackberries, mixed with an extraordinary and fascinating bouquet of herbs. In the mouth this wine confirms its great character and reveals its essence through a pulpy mouthfeel, velvety and with just the right touch of tannin, fruit and spices. The warm, persistent, full-bodied and well-orchestrated taste makes it a distinctive and charismatic wine.

Every year the GENTLEMAN Magazine announces the list of 100 best red Italian wines. This magazine collects the results of the 6 most important Wine Guides (Gamberro Rosso, etc) and makes this an overall ranking and contains the Offida Rosso Ludi and Rosso Piceno Doc Superiore Roggio del Filare respectively in places 22 and 27. In addition, also worth mentioning that the Roggio del Filare achieved the maximum score in the GAmbero Rosso with 3 glasses for 13 consecutive years.

The grapes for this wine come from the own vineyards of winery Velenosi. These vineyards are located in the municipalities of Offida and Ascoli Piceno and have clay-limestone soils. The average height of the vineyards is 200 meters above sea level. The grapes are harvested in mid-October, in the early morning or in the late afternoon, and then placed in small trays and stored in cold cells before being brought to the winery.

After distraction, the grapes go into steel fermenter tubs of 100 hectoliters, equipped with a programmable pump-over system (for obtaining the best results for color extraction and softness of the wine) and a temperature control system. Maceration on the skin takes approximately 28 days. After fermentation, the wine ages in new French barriques for around 18 months.

This beautiful wine is highly recommended to serve with a dinner with nice beef, veal and poultry. Also delicious with more luxurious pasta dishes.
