GRIGIANO
Conero riserva DOCG Organic
Deep garnet red with violet highlights, the nose recalls sour cherry, wild cherry, plum, and forest fruits, with a spicy finish featuring hints of peppermint and liquorice. The palate is profound and intense. The grapes come exclusively from indigenous Montepulciano vines cultivated in Offagna. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. For wines aged for extended periods in wood, early decanting is recommended to enhance oxygenation.
The wine takes its name from the Grigiano hill, where the vineyards are still located and historically cultivated by generations of the Malacari family.
