Vellutato is the “international” interpretation of Rosso Piceno Superiore DOC as Anna Maria Rozzi likes to call it. A very interesting blend from an oenological point of view that includes the use of the international cabernet sauvignon in addition to montepulciano and sangiovese. The glass is dressed in a ruby red color of good density with a dazzling vivacity symptom of a good state of health of the wine. Bringing the glass close to the nose the olfactory impact is decisive, clear, full. If the first recognitions recall floral and fruity aromas of red roses and cherry, subsequently swirling the wine in the glass you perceive light vegetal hints deriving from the presence of cabernet sauvignon and hints of spices with vanilla in evidence, to remind us of the passage in French barriques. The entry of the wine into the mouth is graceful and jaunty but at the same time denotes an elegance that we could almost define as lovable. On the sip we find the fruity note of cherry that we perceived on the nose. The expressed softness does not affect the balance of the wine that lives on the perfect balance between freshness and acidity on one side and the alcohol content on the other. Approaching the conclusion of the tasting we can affirm that we are faced with a medium persistent wine that fully represents the typology. A multifaceted wine that pairs with traditional Piceno appetizers such as pizza di cacio e salamino, not too elaborate red first courses and grilled red meats. It does not disdain aperitifs perhaps accompanied by traditional Piceno peasant cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
