Description
What type of wine is it
Velenosi's Rosso Piceno Superiore Roggio del Filare is a red wine from the Marche region characterised by a significant structure. Produced from a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese, it appears as a vivid ruby red colour with elegant garnet highlights. On the nose, it expresses an intense and complex bouquet, featuring notes of blackberry, plum and ripe cherry, accompanied by nuances of sweet spices and coffee. On the palate, it is enveloping and powerful, with well-matured tannins that create a perfect balance between the fruity component and the notes from barrel ageing, offering a persistent and elegant finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from vineyards located between Offida, Castorano and Ascoli Piceno, in highly suited soils. The soils of Offida are predominantly clay and limestone, while the Ascoli area is characterised by a medium texture with a tendency towards sandy soil. This pedoclimatic diversity contributes to the aromatic richness of the grapes. Training using the Guyot system allows yields to be kept low, concentrating nutrients in the clusters to offer a faithful and authentic expression of the characteristics of this territory.
How it is produced
Production begins with the harvest carried out in mid-October. After de-stemming, fermentation in steel takes place at a controlled temperature. This is followed by maceration on the skins for about twenty days, with constant pump-overs to achieve optimal extraction of colour and structure. The process concludes with a period of about eighteen months in new French oak barrels. This ageing gives breadth and smoothness to the palate, harmonising the freshness of the fruit with the spicy notes imparted by the wood.
History and Trivia
Roggio del Filare represents the excellence of the Velenosi winery, a true standout born with the 1993 vintage.

The heart of the company is located in the historic city of Ascoli Piceno, which is located in the region Marche at a distance of about 20 km from Adriatic Sea and at a height of 150/200 m above sea level.
The company's farms extend across the hills that surround the splendid valley of the Tronto river, which, thanks to its clayey and fertile soils, has always been suited to the cultivation of vines.
In addition to the four companies located in Ascoli Piceno, Castorano, Monsampolo del Tronto and Castel di Lama, there is a vineyard in the area of Ancarano (TE) and in the area of San Marcello (AN), between the Castelli di Jesi.
Since the beginning, the winery has achieved great success with journalistic criticism published in the most renowned national and international newspapers such as: W, Robert Parker, Red shrimp, Luca Maroni, AIS and many others.
