Velenosi Rosso Piceno Superiore Roggio del Filare 2021

Velenosi Roggio del Filare 2021 is a distinguished Rosso Piceno Superiore from Italy’s Marche region, crafted from the classic local blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese. First introduced with the 1993 vintage, it represents Velenosi’s ambition to create a wine with genuine “ace” status—combining regional character with polished French oak ageing.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a beautiful, clear and focused ruby-red colour. Its elegant bouquet is led by cherries and ripe red fruit, with subtle hints of spice and oak from its maturation in French barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied, soft and layered, with generous fruit balanced by refined oak. The structure of Montepulciano is complemented by Sangiovese’s freshness, creating a harmonious and versatile red with the concentration to develop further in bottle over the next few years.

Production
Produced according to the regulations for Rosso Piceno Superiore, Roggio del Filare is based on Montepulciano and Sangiovese. The grapes are carefully selected for their potential, while the wine is matured in French oak barrels to add depth, texture and discreet spice without overshadowing its red-fruit character. Specific vineyard details and harvesting methods are not provided.

Food & Serving
Its full yet supple profile makes an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats, tagliata, lamb, hearty pasta dishes and mature hard cheeses. Serve lightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential for a young 2021 vintage, but 30–45 minutes in a decanter can help open the aromas and integrate the oak and tannins.

Producer
Velenosi has positioned this wine as one of its most ambitious selections: a Rosso Piceno Superiore first presented with the 1993 vintage and developed through a continuous, experimental approach to quality. Roggio del Filare reflects the winery’s focus on expressing the potential of Marche’s traditional Montepulciano and Sangiovese blend, while the available information does not specify further details about the estate’s history or awards.
