Velenosi Solesta Rosso Piceno Superiore 2023

The Velenosi Solestà Rosso Piceno Superiore 2023 is a bold, expressive, and fruit-forward Old World red wine from premium estate vineyards. It pours a compact, impenetrable ruby red colour with a vibrant purple shimmer, lifting with an immediate, refreshing bouquet of blackcurrant, juniper, and black cherries, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of tobacco, licorice, and warm cinnamon. On the palate, this full-bodied red blend is remarkably smooth, juicy, and round, coating the mouth with pure, velvety intensities of dark stone fruits, dancing acidity, and a powerful structure that highlights the exceptional balance of the 2023 vintage. Aged carefully for 12 to 16 months in new French oak barriques to maximize its structural depth and natural sophistication, it features a distinctive tannin structure that carries into a long, persistent, and beautifully measured finish accented by a lingering touch of nutmeg and spice.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with casual or hearty Mediterranean fare, including tomato-based pasta dishes with savory meat ragù, wood-fired mushroom pizzas, grilled pork chops, gourmet beef burgers, slow-cooked roasts, and hard or aged cheeses.
