Tenuta Cocci Grifoni Rosso Piceno DOC

Cocci Grifoni Rosso Piceno is the wine representing the local countryside of Marche, the peasant tradition, the wine of sharecropping. Back then, there was no talk of blends; wine was not made to be sold but to be enjoyed. There was only one purpose: to bring a good bottle of red wine to the table every day. Each family decided whether and for how long to age it in barrels, but one thing was certain. Those barrels contained two grape varieties: Montepulciano and Sangiovese.

Today, just as in the past, the combination of two grapes continues. With its exuberant nature, this wine tells of a landscape painted in bright tones: raspberries, cyclamens, violets. It surprises with a gently spicy touch of pink pepper in the finish, refreshing and inviting to fill the glasses.

Rosso Piceno is made from organic grapes. 50% Montepulciano aged in large wooden barrels for 4 months, 50% Sangiovese in concrete for 4 months. Once blended, follow a 3 months of bottle aging.
