'Extraordinary' Velenosi 2022

The 'Extraordinary' red wine from the Velenosi winery is a bottle that celebrates the oenology of the Marche region, a blend of three of the region's most important black grape varieties: Sangiovese, Lacrima and Montepulciano. Through 'Extraordinary', a red wine produced for the first time with the 2022 vintage, the Velenosi family intends to offer an affordable yet high quality wine to complete the estate's selection of labels. The distinctive golden packaging is then intended to be a bridge between tradition and innovation, symbolising 'the gold of the Marche'.

Velenosi 'Extraordinary' comes from a blend of Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Lacrima grapes, varieties grown in the estate's vineyards in the municipalities of Monteprandone and Morro d'Alba. These rest on clay and limestone soils located at an average altitude between 200 and 250 metres above sea level. Harvesting takes place in the first ten days of September for Lacrima and Sangiovese, while Montepulciano is harvested towards the end of the month. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in special steel fermenters, with 7 days of maceration for the Lacrima, 10-12 days for the Sangiovese and 15 days for the Montepulciano. Again in steel, the wines are left to mature for a few months until final blending and bottling.

Velenosi's 'Extraordinary' wine from the Marche region of Italy is a luminous ruby red colour with violet hues. On the nose, there are fascinating hints of wild berries such as strawberry and blackberry, combined with floral sensations of violets and vegetal aromatic herbs. Despite the good structure, the taste surprises with its freshness and lightness, with the fine tannic texture accompanying the drinkable finish, contributing to the distinct versatility of this wine.
