WINE DESCRIPTION
Bucci Tenuta Pongelli Rosso Piceno is a red wine produced by the Bucci family in the Marche region of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the Pongelli estate. The vineyards are situated on hillsides with a south-eastern exposure, providing optimal sun exposure and drainage. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a traditional winemaking process, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in large oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with a ruby color and aromas of red fruit, spices, and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, the wine is dry with a balanced acidity and tannins, making it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes.
