Rosso Piceno DOC

Description :

The Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes are vinified separately in concrete tanks with a long maceration on the skins for each. The wines ages for about 4 months in the cellar and an additional 1 month in bottle before release, creating a young wine of great concentration. The wine does not see oak in the vinification or aging process.
The Rosso Piceno DOC was first established in 1968 and is the largest DOC in Marche. This hilly region lies mostly in the provinces of Ancona, Macerata, and a limited area of Ascoli Piceno.
The Montecappone property currently stretches over 54 hectares of vineyards and 12 hectares of olive groves that are scattered amongst the hills and castles of beautiful Jesi.
