Black cherries, blackberries and a light spiciness — that is what you immediately smell and taste in the Colle del Buffo Rosso Piceno. Yes, this wine received 99 points from Luca Maroni, which earned it the title “Absolute Best Italian Wine”. The Terra Fageto Colle del Buffo is an organic red wine from Le Marche, composed of equal parts Montepulciano and Sangiovese.
The grapes come from vineyards at an altitude of about 240 meters, on clayey soils. The color is intense ruby red. Let it air for a moment; that helps the aromas open up.
Brief overview:
Origin: Le Marche (Rosso Piceno).
Grapes: Montepulciano & Sangiovese.
Type: Organic Rosso Piceno from Terra Fageto. Product page: Colle del Buffo — Wijnclub Amsterdam.
Food and wine pairing tip: Pairs well with tomato sauces and mature cheeses.
The nose focuses on red and dark berries. Then cherry jam and a subtle spiciness emerge. In the mouth the wine is warm and balanced. The tannins are soft and provide structure. After about twelve months of rest in stainless steel, the freshness is retained. This wine works well on everyday evenings, but can also impress with a simple Italian meal.
Dishes and occasions:
Pasta with ragù or tomato sauce.
Grilled chicken or veal.
Lasagna and casseroles.
Flat cheeses such as Pecorino or young Parmesan.

The vineyards of Colle del Buffo have an average age of 15–20 years. The choice for organic farming means fewer artificial interventions in the vineyard.
Vinification is carried out under controlled conditions: cold pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation with selected yeasts, and aging primarily in stainless steel. For additional context regarding the appellation, see the background of Rosso Piceno at Italian Wine Central — Rosso Piceno DOC.
Is this wine heavy or accessible?
Accessible. It has sufficient fruit and soft tannins; as a result, it drinks smoothly.
How long to store?
It's fine now, but 3–5 years of cellaring adds a bit more complexity.
