Conero DOCG is a robust and full-bodied red wine. It features an intense ruby color which over time, evolves into garnet hues. The aroma is rich with a bouquet of blackberries, plums, and cherries, often combined with spicy notes. The taste is dry, warm, and slightly tannic, with a characteristic almond aftertaste.

History

The Conero DOCG denomination was established in 2004, but the history of wine production in the area dates back to the times of the ancient Romans. The vineyards are nestled in the foothills of the Conero mountain, which gives the wine its name. The area has been recognized for its unique wine production due to the particular microclimate conditions and the passion of local winemakers.

Geographical Production Area

The Conero DOCG wine is exclusively produced on the slopes of Mount Conero, near the city of Ancona in the Marche region. The production area enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The soil is rich in limestone and clay, which contributes to the wine's distinctive flavor profile.
