Rosso Marche IGT Organic

Deep red in colour, its fruity aromas recall sour cherry and blackberry, complemented by more complex notes of graphite and black pepper. A full-bodied, intense, and structured wine with a gentle spicy character. An excellent match for traditional Marche dishes. The grapes come exclusively from indigenous Montepulciano vines cultivated in Offagna.

The name is inspired by the medieval fortress overlooking the small village of Offagna, where this wine is produced.
