Territory and wine style

This wine comes from the DOC area of Rosso Conero, a region suited for the great expressions of Montepulciano in the Marche. The soil, of medium texture rich in limestone, helps to give momentum and definition to the wine's profile, while the choice of a limited yield in the vineyard helps to concentrate matter and personality. The long maturation in barriques and the subsequent aging in bottle complete a style reserved for the best vintages, with a clear vocation for evolution.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby color, tending towards garnet with evolution. On the nose, it offers broad and complex aromas, with ripe fruits, morello cherry in evidence, and delicate spicy nuances discreetly integrated with the wood. On the palate, it is soft, warm, and velvety, with hints of jam and licorice root. The structure is significant, the taste progression is full, and the final persistence is particularly long.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its structured profile, it can successfully accompany slow-cooked preparations with a strong flavor.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve the Rosso Conero DOCG Riserva 2011 Selezione Gioacchino Garofoli is 18°C. In the presence of a particularly evolved bottle, it may be useful to open it a little in advance to favor the aromatic expression and the full integration of tertiary notes.
