Created from a blend of red grape varieties typical of the San Severino Marche territory: here the combination of modern winemaking techniques and ancient local traditions results in a unique wine where the distinctive character of Vernaccia Nera combines with the elegance of Sangiovese and the structure of Montepulciano.
The grapes, hand-harvested in small crates between the last week of September and the last week of October, are vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks for approximately 20 days.
After 12 months of aging in steel tanks with continuous bâtonnage, the wine is bottled and rests for about 6 months before being released for sale.
Named after the Cagnore district of San Severino Marche, where the winery and its historic red grape vineyards are located. It is the first “bottle” produced in the 2023 vintage, and ViniDiCagnore wanted to honor its home location. It was named “Le Cagnore” just as the inhabitants of this tiny district of San Severino Marche call their place of origin…“le Cagnore”!
