Rosso Piceno is the basic everyday red of the Marche region, and this one is a very direct, typical example. It's a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese. Not sure of the proportions in this example. No delusions of grandeur or pretension: just straightforward and satisfying. And a decent value as well.Very dark black ruby/violet. Strong scents of pungent gravel and tangy plums, along with a hint of parmesan cheese rind. Direct and mouthfilling. Loads of winey berry fruit and some rustic tannin are the strongest impressions. Good acidity too. Medium full body. Would work well with meat braised in tomatoes and wine, or pasta with a meat sauce. B. Was $13 and change at Spec's on Smith. Imported by Angelini Selections.
