Red
Umani Ronchi Campo San Giorgio Conero Riserva 2020
£79.95
Why Mark chose this
Umani Ronchi is the benchmark producer on the Conero promontory in the Marche, and Campo San Giorgio is their top Riserva, made from a tiny parcel of Montepulciano vines on south-east facing slopes above the sea. It spends two years in barrel, rests in bottle for nearly a year, and is made without fining or filtration. This is not an everyday wine. It has the weight, structure and complexity of a serious Italian red, and at the price it asks, it's genuinely impressive.

Tasting Notes
The vine of Campo San Giorgio, around 15 years old average faces south-east, at a height of about 150 meters above sea level. The terrain, dating back to marine formations from the Pleiocene-Pleistocene era, consists of very deep, chalky clay loam. Only 10.000 square meters, containing 8.000 plants per hectare, distance is 2.1 meters between the rows, 60 cm along the row. Once the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is aged for 12 months in small barrels and further 12 months in large casks. The wine does not undergo any fining and filtration. After bottling, Campo San Giorgio is rests in a temperature‐controlled environment for about 8‐10 months
