I Terreni di Sanseverino

"I Terreni di Sanseverino" is a Protected Designation of Origin that identifies four types of wine originating in the Marche region: red, Rosso Superiore, Rosso Passito and Moro.

Grapes

The Rosso and Rosso Superiore are ruby in colour (with a greater intensity in the Superiore) and have a pleasant and complex aroma and a savoury, harmonious and characteristic taste. The alcohol content is 12% vol. in the base and 12.5% vol. in the Superiore. The Passito Rosso (15. 5% vol. ), on the other hand, has a lighter ruby hue, with a tendency to garnet. The aroma is intense and characteristic of withering, while the taste is velvety and pleasantly medium sweet or sweet. Finally, the Moro variant (12.5% vol.) has an intense ruby red aspect, accompanied by a pleasant and complex aroma and a harmonious taste, sometimes embellished with notes of red fruit.

Grape production area

The production area is limited to the municipality of San Severino Marche, in the province of Macerata. A hilly area with rather homogeneous orographic characteristics, 60 km from the sea and crossed by the Potenza river.

Specificity and historical notes

San Severino was born as a Roman colony (then Settempeda) and at this stage begins, in the area, the cultivation of the vine. The strategic position, both from the commercial point of view and from the climatic conditions, makes this activity take off immediately, but it knows an abrupt phase of arrest with the fall of the Empire. The ransom and the relaunch then arrive in the early Middle Ages.
