2024 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 active in the Le Marche region on the east coast of Italy since 1800, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The estate is situated just 12 kilometers from the coast, at an altitude of 200 meters, in the heart of the historic Metauro Valley. This valley is named after the region's longest river and offers a unique microclimate that is 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 in the east and the Apennines in the west ensures grapes with optimal aromatic development. Guerrieri works sustainably 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 based on 90% Sangiovese and 10% Montepulciano. The grapes come from vines that are between 7 and 15 years old. The vineyards are south and southwest oriented, which ensures good ripening of the fruit while preserving freshness.

The vineyard soil consists of grey calcareous clay that transitions into a light blue subsoil after a few meters of depth. The vegetation layer is primarily loam-clay with small lime particles, formed by water erosion. This soil composition contributes to the structure and freshness of the wine.

The harvest 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 aging of Guerrieri Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese

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