This red wine is made from the same grape composition as the non-aged type , namely the Sangiovese grape (50-100%), along with an exotic blend of Cabernet Franc and/or Cabernet Sauvignon and/or Ciliegiolo and/or Lacrima and/or Merlot and/or Montepulciano and/or Vernaccia Nera (0-50%), with the permitted addition of local non-aromatic grapes (0-15%).
Both Colli Maceratesi Rosso Riserva and this type are fairly new on the Italian wine list, as they were the first red wines produced in the white-dominated district in 2006, when the zone was elevated to DOC. So far, this is the only red wine in the zone.
The wine has a color ranging from ruby red to garnet red, a pleasant, complex and slightly ethereal bouquet, as well as a pleasantly dry taste.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, starting with December 1st of the harvesting year, of which 3 months in the bottle.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
