Description and technical sheet
Fonte del Re 2024 is made from 100% Lacrima in the hills around Morro d’Alba in the Marche, about 15 km from the Adriatic Sea. The vineyards lie at 150-200 metres above sea level on deep clay-loam soils with south-east and south-west exposure.
Steel ageing to preserve aromatic character
The grapes are destemmed and lightly pressed, then macerated for a maximum of 10 days in stainless-steel fermenters at around 24 °C. Malolactic fermentation follows the alcoholic fermentation; the wine then matures for about 4 months in stainless steel before a short period in bottle.
In the glass
It shows an intense ruby colour with clear violet hues. The nose is aromatic and floral, with notes of rose, violet and woodland. The palate is dry, warm, smooth and rounded, with noticeable but non-aggressive tannins and good persistence.
At the table
Serve at around 15 °C. It pairs well with Marche cured meats, pasta with meat ragù, white meats and semi-hard cheeses.
