It originates from a blend of red grapes typical of the San Severino Marche area: here, the combination of modern winemaking techniques and the ancient traditions of the area leads to a unique wine in which the typicality of black Vernaccia is linked to the elegance of Sangiovese and the structure of Montepulciano.
From the choice to wisely combine black Vernaccia with Montepulciano and Sangiovese comes “Le Càgnore,” a wine that expresses the style and personality of the native grapes, along with the complexity and aromatic profile of the traditional red grapes of central Italy. Named after the hamlet of Cagnore in San Severino Marche, where the winery and its historic vineyards are located, to honor the place that hosts it.
