Maria Pia Castelli Lorano

Lorano is Maria Pia Castelli's pure Sangiovese, grown on the estate's eight hectares above Monte Urano in the Fermo hills, on iron-rich clay soils close enough to the Adriatic to feel sea breezes. Fermented on its skins for 15-20 days, with malolactic fermentation in barrique followed by around 12 months of barrel ageing and further bottle age. Intense ruby red; cherry, prune, tobacco and spice on the nose, full-bodied with rich tannins, well-integrated acidity and elegant structure.
