A true rarity that the winery in Ascoli Piceno absolutely wanted to produce to give voice to one of the most characteristic and personality-rich grape varieties of the Marche territory. Velenosi is, in fact, a symbol of wine from the Marche and in its range seeks to give space to all the varieties traditionally cultivated in the territory, both white and red berries. The grapes of “Querciantica” come from a vineyard located in the municipality of San Marcello, in the province of Ancona at an altitude of about 150 meters above sea level, on soils predominantly composed of clay. The harvest usually takes place at the end of September and the grapes are further selected at the winery before the start of the vinification process.
