Santa Barbara Rosso Piceno Maschio da Monte 2023

Santa Barbara’s Rosso Piceno Maschio da Monte is a vivid expression of Marche, blending Montepulciano and Sangiovese into a wine with both generosity and finesse. It captures the character of the Rosso Piceno DOC beautifully, offering ripe fruit, spice, and an elegant structure that reflects the region’s long winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color that immediately signals depth and concentration. The nose is expressive and layered, with an abundant bouquet of violets and blackberry, lifted by spicy and subtly vegetal notes. On the palate, the wine is smooth and polished, with soft tannins and a remarkably balanced texture. Its freshness keeps the wine lively and harmonious, while the finish is persistent and long. Built to evolve gracefully, it should continue to gain complexity with a few years of cellaring.

Food & Serving
