Borgo Paglianetto, Terravignata, Marche Rosso, 2023
50% Sangiovese, 35% Merlot, 15% Lacrima, all only in stainless steel – just the type of fresh Italian red we love. Lacrima is a strongly perfumed grape – think flagrant rose petals, so 15% is just right to bring attractive violet aromatics. Very well-mannered and sappy, all juicy berries and red cherries. 13%.

We first visited Borgo Paglianetto in 2022 in the search for Verdicchio di Matelica. Verdicchio (the grape translates as “the little green one”) from Matelica is generally considered superior to that from the much larger Castelli di Jesi zone: the vines enjoy a cooler, continental climate and excellent clay/limestone soils; and yields are lower too. Borgo Paglianetto’s organically farmed vineyards are at 350-450m., surrounded by mountains which bring big diurnal changes of temperature. This estate is one of the leaders in this small (only around 200 hectares) DOC. The Verdicchios are so bright and intense – and, as one goes up the scale, extremely ageworthy too. But the Marche Rosso is also fun.
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
