Malacari Rocca Marche Rosso 2021

Malacari Rocca Marche Rosso receives mixed reviews. Some appreciate its robust structure, deep spicy character, and balance of leather, forest floor, cherry, and blackberry aromas, especially in the 2013 vintage. Others find it straightforward with a strong forest floor-like character and unbalanced acidity, particularly in the 2016 vintage. The tannins are generally firm, with some describing them as supple, enhancing its pairing with bold meats.

This Marche Rosso presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. The bouquet unfurls with a complex interplay of ripe black cherry and plum, underscored by hints of dried herbs and a whisper of leather. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides a refreshing counterpoint to the wine's rich fruit core. The finish is long and nuanced, with a subtle mineral edge and a lingering note of dark chocolate. This wine exemplifies the potential of Marche's terroir, offering both elegance and depth.
