In the Marche, Sangiovese manifests itself in a slightly different way to its Tuscan or Romagna counterparts. Here, the mild climate and proximity to the Adriatic Sea, combined with the particular composition of the hilly terrain, give the grape a very special freshness and minerality. Although the grape variety retains its typical fruity expression, with predominant hints of cherry and sour cherry, delicate balsamic and sometimes spicy notes can also be perceived in Marche Sangiovese. A fine example is this Marche IGT Sangiovese Capitolo 2 by Cantina dei Colli Ripani. A wine that, while remaining faithful to its varietal identity, presents unique and distinctive nuances. Brilliant red in colour, the nose is intense and fruity, with notes of red fruits such as cherry and visiola. In the mouth, however, it is harmonious and pleasantly persistent. The delicacy of its tannins makes it extremely versatile. Perfect in combination with a wide range of dishes, especially those of the Marche wine and food tradition. For the whole meal.
