2023 Guerrieri Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese

Elegant and fruit-driven Sangiovese from the Metauro Valley in Le Marche.

The Guerrieri winery in the Metauro Valley

Azienda Agraria Guerrieri has been operating in the Marche region on Italy's east coast, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, since 1800. The estate is located just 12 kilometers from the coast, at an altitude of 200 meters, in the heart of the historic Metauro Valley. This valley, named after the region's longest river, offers a unique microclimate ideal for quality viticulture.

The climate in this region is mild and balanced, with constant winds and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. The influence of the sea to the east and the Apennines to the west produces grapes with optimal aromatic development. Guerrieri practices sustainable farming and focuses on wines that express the freshness and elegance of the local terroir.

Origin and composition of Guerrieri Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese

The 2023 Guerrieri Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese is a red wine made from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Montepulciano. The grapes come from vines between 7 and 15 years old. The vineyards face south and southwest, ensuring good ripening of the fruit while maintaining freshness.

The vineyard's soil consists of gray calcareous clay that transitions to a light blue subsoil after a few meters. The vegetation layer is primarily loam-clay with small limestone particles, created by water erosion. This soil composition contributes to the wine's structure and freshness.

Harvesting takes place manually in the second half of September. Careful selection is made for ripe and healthy bunches, with an average yield of 3 kg per plant.

Vinification and maturation of Guerrieri Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese

The wine is produced using the classic red vinification method. The grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit expression and freshness. No oak aging is used, so the wine retains its youthful character and aromatic purity.
