Made with organically-farmed fruit, the 2008 Rosso Piceno Morellone is a blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese. The bouquet is forthcoming and bright with dried cherry, Mediterranean herb and dusty licorice. The wine offers medium intensity and texture. This informal and approachable style would work next to pasta piled high with grated Parmigiano cheese.

There's a sense of restraint to this fresh red, with dense, well-integrated tannins. Dark wild berry fruit and herb notes mesh with subtle accents of cured meat, black olive and mineral. Drink now through 2022. 300 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Rosso Piceno Select to Add

The 2004 Rosso Piceno Morellone (70% Montepulciano, 30% Sangiovese) is a bold, racy wine packed with dark red cherries, earthiness, sweet French oak and new leather. Although the Morellone doesn’t offer a ton of varietal character it is hard not to admire the wine’s richness and overall balance. The Morellone spent 13 months in French oak barrels prior to being bottled. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Le Caniette is an excellent source for tasty wines from the Marche.
