Characteristic of the area is the 2000 Rosso Piceno Roggio del Filare, dark in color, intense and penetrating on the nose with much alcoholic warmth and tarry plum fruit, potent and intense flavors, and an important length and persistence. The wine is not completely together, and the acidity and tannins are a bit too noticeable on the finish, but these are excellent raw materials. Drink: 2006-2015.
