Montepulciano 2023

NEW RELEASE

I first tasted Montepulciano at a festa in Le Marche, my grandfather Primo’s homeland in central Italy. It was poured into tumblers and served with grilled arrosticini lamb skewers - rustic, joyful, and unforgettable.

Years later, I tasted Rosso Conero - the bold, oak-aged style that Le Marche is famous for. That glass showed me how this humble grape could become something deeper and more powerful.

In 2023, we found a small parcel of fruit in McLaren Vale with just the right balance of ripeness and freshness. Made in open fermenters and aged in seasoned oak, in the traditional Conero style.

This is a medium-bodied red with notes of plum, wild cherry, violet, and dried rosemary. Bright, savoury and made for food - especially grilled meats, pizza, or a simple bowl of pasta with olive oil.

Only 140 cases made.
