Area of production
Marche, Conero

An estate that covers a total of 35 hectares, San Lorenzo is the vineyard where in the mid Sixties Umani Ronchi began planting plots for the production of Rosso Conero.

The grapes are destalked and lightly pressed, then undergo maceration for 10-12 days in steel fermentation vats. As soon as the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine starts the malolactic fermentation. The wine then moves on to the ageing process. About 50% is aged in 5000-8000 litre oak casks, and the rest in barriques on their third or fourth time of use, for a period of about 12 months. After assemblage, San Lorenzo rests in bottle for a further 6 months.

Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby red colour with garnet tints. The nose is velvety, predominantly fruity, with typical notes of morello cherry. Rich and pulpy in the mouth, flavourful and pleasantly harmonious, with silky tannins. The long finish is austere and intensely fruity.
