Villa Malacari - Rosso Cornero DOC

2019

Montepulciano 

Marche, Italy 

Marche has roots in wine production dating back to 10th Century BC. The Malacari family have been making wine for what is, in comparison, not a great deal of time- a mere 500 years! They are the oldest continuously operating winery in the region. The vineyards are a mix of limestone, chalk, clay and sandy soils and of course, the grapes are grown on vines that have been in the vineyard since the 1600's. This red is made from 100% Montepulciano grown on 40 year old vines and aged in both oak barrels and casks for 12 months. Tasting notes of red and black fruit, leather and oak make this wine a great pairing for a veal dish or red sauce pasta.
