Di Gino - Marche Rosso IGT 2023 Fattoria San Lorenzo

...di Gino Rosso is Fattoria San Lorenzo's everyday red wine, the one Natalino serves without much thought when guests are over. It's not a wine for contemplation, but it embodies the same countryside and cellar philosophy as their more esteemed wines.

60% Montepulciano and 40% Sangiovese, the two most important red grapes of Marche, each with its own role: Montepulciano provides structure and fruity richness, while Sangiovese adds freshness and elegance. Natalino's most important choice for this wine is not to age it in wood; it's all stainless steel, from fermentation to aging. He wants the grapes to remain grapes, for the wine to be as direct as possible, without the mediation of oak. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, several weeks of maceration on the skins, then rest in tanks before bottling.

The result is an honest, juicy, and immediate red wine, full of fresh red fruit and light spices, with fine tannins and a drinkability that is its very raison d'être. Not a red to decant, but one of those you open and finish without noticing between conversations.
