Rich red wine from Le Marche with power, finesse, and a local identity. The Guerrieri winery and its location in Le Marche Azienda Agraria Guerrieri is a family business with roots dating back to the 19th century, located in Terre Roveresche in the Le Marche region of Italy. The Guerrieri family has managed the estate for five generations and has a strong focus on sustainability, biodiversity, and quality. The estate consists not only of vineyards but also includes olive groves, grain fields, and beehives, placing the balance between agriculture and nature at the forefront. The vineyards are situated on rolling hills at an altitude of around 250 meters, just a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea. The temperate climate, with warm days, cooling sea breezes, and cool nights, ensures gradual and optimal ripening of the grapes. The combination of maritime influences and calcareous clay soils contributes to the complexity and freshness of the wines. Characteristics of Guerriero Nero and the grape varieties used The Guerriero Nero is a powerful red wine from Guerrieri, made from a blend of Montepulciano, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon . Together, these grapes provide structure, aromatic depth, and a good balance between fruit and spiciness. Montepulciano adds soft tannins and dark berries, Sangiovese brings freshness and red cherries, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides power, concentration, and ripe black fruit. Harvest, fermentation and aging of Guerriero Nero The grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning hours to preserve freshness. Only the best bunches are selected. After destemming and crushing, a slow fermentation follows in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, during which the wine is pumped over daily for maximum extraction of color, aroma, and structure. After fermentation, the wine ages for 10 to 12 months in large oak barrels, followed by bottle aging of at least six months. This process ensures refinement and integration of the various components, without losing the fruit.
