Rosso Piceno

[Coop]

Bought a Sangiovese and Montipulciano blend wind with this DOC. I can not find anything about this wine. Where is this DOC located?

[Tonyfinch]

It's from the Marches area around Ascoli.

Potentially very nice wines and great values. The more Montepulciano in the blend the better the wine – Sangiovese can be a bit thin here. Rosso Conero tends to make better wines but there are great producers like Saladini Pilastri in Piceno who make some serious wines - like their single vineyard Monteprandone (80% Montepulciano/ 20% Sangiovese) that stand out as some of the best values in Italy. Not a lot of finesse here but good hedonistic wines with big, earthy flavors.
