Wines of the Marche

SKU: 9427

Il Lauro comes from a selection of grapes from the historic "Mogliette" vineyard planted in 1969 on the loamy soil of a windy west-facing hillside. The vineyard's longevity and particular location allow for a late harvest and the achievement of an excellent balance between acidity and sugar content. The historicity of the planting, the management of the vines, the selection of the bunches during the harvest and the maniacal attention in all the processing phases allow us to obtain a full-bodied, velvety and decidedly refined wine.

In Ripatransone there is a place where the wind never stops blowing: Piazza XX Settembre. Perpetually restless, he blows expanding into the adjacent squares. The reason for so much restlessness is the unrequited expectation of a friend. Legend has it that it was in this square that the Wind met the Devil and suggested that they go and drink a glass of Marche IGT Rosso together. The Devil agreed, but told the Wind that he would have to take care of something in the Town Hall first. Business that never ended, the Devil was so happy at the Palace. And it is for this reason that the Wind, in vain, still awaits him today for that suspended toast.
