Protected Designation of Origin
Blend 70% Montepulciano

PICUS
For this selection of Rosso Piceno Superiore, the Latin name of the Picchio, the main symbol of Piceno civilisation, was chosen. This blend obtained from Montepulciano
and Sangiovese grapes, cultivated in the restricted and most vocated area of the Rosso Piceno D.O.C. denomination, through ageing in wood enhances its natural qualities
to a clearly superior level.

SENSORY ANALYSIS
A wine with an intense ruby red colour. The nose reveals a very broad aromatic complex in which notes of cherry and plum blend with those of sweet spices (cinnamon and
liquorice). The taste is full-bodied, rightly tannic and on the whole harmonious.
