Pure, full-bodied, bold, and characteristic; that is how you can describe this Marinus Piceno Superiore DOP from Il Conte Villa Prandone. A delicious blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese from Piceno in the Italian Marche. Aromas of red diamond, blackcurrants, and raspberries wrapped in a full, velvety wine with a long finish. This is a wine you want to serve with Italian cuisine, and particularly dishes containing tomatoes. But thanks to its sturdy, bold style, the wine also pairs well with slightly fatty meat dishes.
The scent of this Marinus is reminiscent of Christmas in a bottle. Sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, anise and ginger, combined with cherries and dark forest fruit. On the palate this wine is silky soft, full and juicy with elegant acidity and a light minerality. The aftertaste is long and dry with a hint of cedar. This wine therefore deserves to be enjoyed quietly, with delicious Italian dishes as an accompaniment.
The vineyards of this Rosso Piceno benefit from a balanced microclimate between the Adriatic Sea and the Sibillini Mountains in the Italian Marche. The soil of the vineyards contains a lot of limestone and clay, which is very beneficial for the complexity of the grapes. After the manual harvest of the Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes a very strict selection takes place. Furthermore, a gentle pressing and controlled fermentation follow. The juice first ages for 3 months in stainless steel tanks on its own yeast cells (“sur lie”), after which it undergoes a year of aging in oak barrels.
The Il Conte Villa Prandone estate is situated in the beautiful hills of Monteprandone in the Marche region. A very favorable microclimate prevails here thanks to the light breeze from the Adriatic Sea and mountain winds from the Sibillini Mountains. Combined with the many hours of sunshine, this is the ideal recipe for grape ripening. Il Conte Villa Prandone therefore produces great wines thanks to immense experience and passion for the vineyards and the land. Also, be sure to try the incredibly delicious Pecorino from this house!
