Fiorano, Terre di Giobbe, Rosso Piceno Superiore, 2017

80% Montepulciano and 20% Sangiovese, aged in old French oak barrels. A big wine, concentrated and robust, liqueur cherries cut by brisk acidity. Perfect for rich dishes such as roast pork. Now-2023

We started working with Paolo Beretta and Paola Massi, introducing their wines to this country in 2015, with immediate success. Their wines exemplify perfectly the virtues of small-scale - they tend just 5 hectares of vines - organic cultivation. All exhibit an entrancing purity of fruit, and all are bottled with minimal sulphur levels. They consider their grass-covered vineyards lie in a special spot: about 250-350 metres up on the eastern side of the Apennines, about 15 kms. from the Adriatic, surrounded by their own olive groves, on a mix of clay, limestone and sand.
