Rich and elegant Sangiovese Riserva from the hills of Le Marche.

Guerrieri Winery and the Origin of the Galileo Riserva

Azienda Agraria Guerrieri is a leading family-run business in Terre Roveresche, in the northern part of Le Marche. For five generations, the estate has been managed by the Guerrieri family, with great commitment to sustainability, biodiversity and quality. In addition to wine, the estate also produces olive oil, cereals and honey, with which it operates a broad and balanced agricultural model.

The region is blessed with an ideal wine-growing climate: warm days, cool nights and the influence of the nearby Adriatic Sea. The soils are rich in clay and limestone, which give structure, minerality and freshness to the wines. Guerrieri produces a wide range of characterful wines here, including the prestigious Galileo Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese Riserva.

Characteristics of Guerrieri Galileo Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese Riserva

The Galileo Riserva is a top-level Sangiovese, produced within the Colli Pesaresi DOC . This wine is made exclusively in strong vintages, from perfectly ripe Sangiovese grapes from carefully selected plots on the Guerrieri estate.

The manual harvest takes place at the end of September. Only the best bunches are selected. After a gentle crushing, a long maceration of about 20 days follows in temperature-controlled tanks. The wine is then matured for 24 months in oak barrels, some of which are new, and then for at least another 12 months of bottle maturation before it is released onto the market.

Color, smell and taste of Galileo Sangiovese Riserva

In the glass the wine shows a deep ruby red color with light garnet reflections. In the nose aromas of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, leather, liquorice and subtle spices such as cloves and cinnamon. As the wine opens, earthy tones and a hint of balsamic are added.

In the mouth, the Galileo Riserva is full and harmonious, with firm but well-integrated tannins. The wine offers a combination of power, freshness and length, which makes it particularly suitable for aging but also pleasant to drink now. The finish is long, layered and leaves an impression of black fruit and spiciness.

Wine and food pairings with Guerriero Galileo Riserva

The firm structure, ripe fruit tones and elegant spiciness of this Sangiovese Riserva make it very suitable for dishes with depth. Some accessible combinations are:

  • Ossobuco with saffron risotto – The rich texture of the meat and the creamy risotto perfectly match the intensity and freshness of the wine.
  • Pappardelle with game ragù – The savory, spicy sauce enhances the earthy notes of the wine, while the acidity keeps everything in balance.
  • Grilled entrecote with rosemary and sea salt – The tannins of the wine are nicely rounded off by the fat in the meat, while the spicy note matches the use of wood.
  • Eggplant Parmigiana – The combination of tomato, cheese and roasted vegetables is a perfect vegetarian partner for the wine's ripe, spicy style.
  • Matured pecorino or old Gouda cheese – The salty intensity of the cheese is beautifully carried by the long finish and fruit of the wine.

Azienda Agraria Guerrieri is een familiebedrijf gelegen in de regio Le Marche, Italië, dat zich toelegt op duurzame landbouw en de productie van kwaliteitswijnen. Het wijnhuis is bekend om zijn toewijding aan lokale druivensoorten en traditionele productiemethoden, wat resulteert in wijnen die het karakter van de regio weerspiegelen.​

De visie van Guerrieri draait om respect voor de natuur en het behoud van biodiversiteit. Ze hanteren duurzame landbouwpraktijken en minimaliseren het gebruik van chemische middelen. De druiven worden met de hand geoogst en zorgvuldig geselecteerd om de kwaliteit van de wijnen te waarborgen. Het wijnhuis produceert een scala aan wijnen, waaronder de Celso Bianchello del Metauro Superiore, een aromatische witte wijn gemaakt van de lokale Bianchello-druif, en de Guerriero Nero Marche Rosso, een blend van Sangiovese, Montepulciano en Cabernet Sauvignon.

De 48 hectare wijngaard zijn beplant met een scala aan druivenrassen, waaronder de kenmerkende voor de regio, verdicchio, bianchello, montepulciano en sangiovese, en tevens de helaas te onbekende lacrima. ‘Wij zijn boeren,’ stelt Luca Guerrieri. Dat betekent voor hem het verantwoord omgaan met het land en dat wat erop leeft, maar ook het diversifiëren van de productie om een teveel aan monocultuur tegen te gaan. Behalve wijn levert het bedrijf olijfolie, linzen, kikkererwten en flink wat durumtarwe, waarvan fantastische gedroogde pasta wordt gemaakt.
