Marchetti Castro di San Silvestro Rosso Conero 2019

Rosso Conero (or simply Conero) is one of the 12 DOC zones in the southern part of the Marche region, in central Italy. The wine must be made from at least 85 percent Montepulciano. Up to 15 percent Sangiovese may be added, though this option is rarely taken.

It is a powerful and full-bodied red, characterized by its concentrated color and firm tannins. It provides intense aromas and flavors of black cherries and Mediterranean herbs. To achieve its full potential it generally requires a little ageing.

Awarded its DOC classification in 1967, this production zone covers a small area on the slopes of Mount Conero, south-west of Ancona between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennines. Its vineyards sit on mineral-rich chalky and clay soils which, combined with a continental climate, provides an ideal terroir for the cultivation of vines.

Located in the Ancona province, it is promoted as a coastal red wine appellation. However very few vineyards face eastwards to the sea. Instead they face other points of the compass on slopes which shelter the vines from maritime climate influences.

Like many Italian winemaking areas, Conero's winemaking history can be traced back centuries. According to the medical doctor and naturalist Andrea Bacci (1524–1600), while Hannibal was marching on Rome, he provided his weary army and even his horses with large amounts of Conero wine.
