Nero Marche Rosso IGT - 2023

Guerrieri Nero Marche Rosso IGT 2023 – exquisite red wine from the Marches

The Guerrieri Nero Marche Rosso IGT 2023 is a remarkable red wine that reflects the diversity and potential of Italy's Marche region. The family winery Azienda Guerrieri refers to it as "Super Marche" because it combines two of the most important local grape varieties with a third, internationally recognized one. This red wine strongly represents the identity and style of the Guerrieri farm, blending artisanal tradition with modern techniques to create a red wine of the highest quality.

Taste and Aromas

The Guerrieri Nero Marche Rosso IGT 2023 displays an intense ruby red in the glass. On the nose, juicy aromas of Amarena cherries, plum compote, and fragrant notes of violets unfold, accompanied by subtle balsamic notes and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the red wine shows well-integrated acidity, a great tannin structure, and a harmonious balance with notes of black and red fruits, dark chocolate, and spices. The long, elegant finish perfectly rounds off the complex taste experience, making every sip a delight.

About the Guerrieri Winery and the Marches

Azienda Agraria Guerrieri has been located in the Marche region on Italy's east coast, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, since 1800. The family-run winery has cultivated its vineyards with the utmost care and dedication for generations. Since 2004, the winery has stopped using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The vineyards are located 12 km from the sea at an altitude of 200 m above sea level. The area is called the "Metauro Valley", after the Metauro River, the longest river in the Marches, which flows through the entire valley.

The climate in the Marches, located in the "heart of Italy," is mild and harmonious, with significant thermal excursions and constant wind. The climate of the Metauro Valley is influenced by the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Apennines to the west.

Sustainable Production

The vineyards where the Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for this Marche Rosso IGT grow are located on the eastern bank of the Metauro. The soil consists of grayish calcareous mud, which turns light blue after only a few meters deep. The topsoil consists predominantly of silty clay with small carbonate nodules, which were formed by water erosion and the transformation of inorganic plant matter into humus. The vines are between 20 and 30 years old and are not planted too densely, with 3,300 vines per hectare. Work for a good vintage begins in winter with pruning the vines, followed by green manuring and early thinning of the grapes at the beginning of summer, careful selection of hand-picked grapes at the start of the harvest, 80% in mid-September and 20% when overripe until early October.

The grapes for the Nero Marche Rosso IGT 2023 are hand-picked, re-selected, and gently processed to preserve the wine's natural aromas and high quality. Fermentation takes place after long maceration under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for 10 months in oak barriques, which gives it additional structure and complexity.

Enjoyable Combinations

The Guerrieri Nero Marche Rosso IGT 2023 is a versatile companion for true culinary experiences. Its powerful, spicy-fruity character makes it an ideal accompaniment to braised dark meat, roasted beef steaks, game dishes, and aged cheeses.
