Why Cave selected it

A benchmark, certified-organic Rosso Conero offering a clear, traditional expression of Montepulciano from calcareous–clay soils near the Adriatic; savoury, food-friendly and great value.

About the wine

 

Born from Montepulciano vines rooted deep in strange limestone and soft, giving earth—this is Conero, where the sea talks to the soil. Salt air drifts in daily, taming the sun’s force, drawing out ripeness slow and sure. Cool nights lock in perfume. It’s a place that leaves its mark on every grape—character you can’t copy, only capture.

On the nose: wild herbs from the Med, sun-warmed berries, a touch of stone, a whisper of brine. The palate? Broad, textural—dried fig, cedar shavings, cracked spice. A year in big old oak rounds it out. It’s vibrant. It’s honest. It’s delicious.

About Malacari

The Malacari family have been a landowner in the Marche region for more than 500 years around the little town of Offagna. Most of their land was cultivated with cereals, olives and vines. In 1668, the Villa Malacari was built to be used as a winery, storage for cereals and as an olive mill. Since then the Malacari’s have expanded generation after generation to now boast 100 hectares and counting. Today, Alessandro Starrabba, owner of the Azienda Agricola, produces Rosso Conero from 16 hectares of vineyards; 9 of the which are dated 1971 and the other 7 dated 2000.

The vineyards are all planted with Montepulciano and are situated around the hill of Grigiano at about 210 metres asl and all facing south. In the cellar, Alessandro has made some major changes in the structure and equipment since 1997 and together with oenologist Sergio Paolucci, started a new culture for his wines, aiming only for high standard, fineness, and character without loosing the style of the Conero.
