ROSSO PICENO SUPERIORE, FRANCO AURORA, MARCHE, ITALY, 2020

CREAMY. BOLD. RICH

Sumptuous wine from wholesome winemakers. Rich but wonderfully balanced - the oak is soft, opulent & indulgent & the tannins are well integrated with a touch of licorice & spice. It's toasty & warm, terroir-driven & great with rich dishes.

Franco doesn't use new barrels for this wine, he is not trying to cover his wine, just to express the opulence of the variety & lushness of his Terroir.

Earthy & fruity - accessible & balanced. A classic.

GRAPE: MONTEPULCIANO & SANGIOVESE

VINIFICATION: VEGAN

FARMING: ORGANIC

FOOD PAIRING: A great wine for food pairing due to its good body & nuance - an ideal accompaniment for fatty meats such as grilled mackerel, rich sauces, meat plates &/or cheeses of medium aging.
