Velenosi Il Brecciarolo Rosso Piceno 21

Angela Piotti Velenosi and her husband Ercole established the winery in 1984 in Ascoli Piceno, on the southern edge of the Marche region near the Abruzzo border. The estate now covers around 175 hectares, with vineyards spread across the Marche's three coastal hills.

The range covers the indigenous Marche white varieties Pecorino and Passerina alongside Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, plus a large red programme built around Montepulciano in DOC Rosso Piceno and DOC Offida. The estate also produces Falerio, Brecciarolo and a Brut Rosé in the Charmat method.

Roast lamb, pasta al ragù, braised beef and aged Pecorino; a mid-tier Marche red for 3-7 years' cellaring.
