Darkly colored and made from certified organically grown grapes, this sturdy, robust Montepulciano packs a lot of flavor and is a terrific bang for the buck! Aromas of blackberry compote, spiced plums and wild violets grace the nose with aromatic richness and earthy complexity. In the mouth the flavors gather with a gentle grip of mouth coating tannin and finishes with a lift of acidity and a lingering note of wild forest berries.
Served with a light chill, this hearty red comes alive with food pairings. Makes a great match to barbecues, pasta and outdoor picnics.
Aged in large botti for several months, followed by 6 months of bottle aging.
This family-run estate is situated in Castel di Lama in the Ascoli Piceno region, in southernmost Marche, with vineyard holdings (45 ha) straddling the Abruzzo line.

First planted in the 1950s, the winery is managed today by proprietor/winemaker Quinto Fausti and his son Alighiero. Gambero Rosso notes that the Faustis practice “rigorous quality selection of the fruit,” ensuring that their whites and reds are among the finest values in Italy. All wines are fermented with native yeasts and adds a max of 80mg/L of Sulphur. Certified Organic.
