Il Conte Villa Prandone, Rosso Piceno Superiore Marinus 2023

Il Conte Villa Prandone’s Rosso Piceno Superiore Marinus 2023 is a rich, expressive red from the rolling hills around Monteprandone in Italy’s Marche region. With its ruby colour, generous red-fruit character, velvety tannins and year of oak maturation, it offers a polished interpretation of this historic appellation. The wine reflects the long-standing heritage of the Il Conte estate and its close connection to the local landscape.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a bright ruby-red colour. The nose is intense and inviting, with aromas of ripe red fruit, blackcurrant and raspberry, complemented by subtle oak-derived nuances from its maturation in wooden barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, balancing generous fruit with velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish. Marinus 2023 is approachable in its youth, but its structure, concentration and time in oak should allow it to develop further over the next few years when properly stored.

Production
The vineyards are situated in the province of Ascoli Piceno, among the hills surrounding Monteprandone. The estate benefits from a healthy, balanced microclimate created by breezes from both the Adriatic Sea and the Sibillini Mountains, helping the grapes reach ideal ripeness. Selected grapes are gently pressed and fermented for 12–18 days at a controlled temperature of 24–28°C. The wine is then matured in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for three months, followed by one year of ageing in oak barrels.

Food & Serving
A natural match for roasted and grilled meats, this full-bodied red also pairs beautifully with game dishes, braised beef and mature, hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential for immediate enjoyment, but decanting for 30–60 minutes can help open the aromas and soften the wine’s youthful structure.
