Next to Mt. Cònero, Cònero DOCG is the Northern-most fine Montepulciano in Italy. Unlike its Abruzzi cousin, this red wine is rich yet delicate, very fruity, but not quite full bodied. It’s appraised by many as the perfect wine to represent Le Marche.

Produced from the coastal area of Le Marche in Italy, not far from scenic Mt. Cònero, of which this appellation is named after. Cònero DOCG is the northern-most Montepulciano production site at venerated DOCG level. It express the grape variety’s side of elegance, balanced palate, succulent nature and age-worthiness.
Umani Ronchi started in Cupramontana, more than 60 years ago. The man started the chapter is known as Gino Umani Ronchi. The first farm was right in the heart of the Verdicchio Classico production zone. As the years go by, it expanded to numerous other areas along the Adriatic coast.
The Vineyard
The vineyard from which Cùmaro originates is situated on the edge of the municipality of Osimo, facing south-east, at a height of about 150-200 meters above sea level. The terrain, which started out as marine formations from the Pleiocene-Pleistocene era, consists of very deep, chalky loams soils. The yield is kept within strict limits by very close pruning and targeted thinning, and can vary from five to 6-8 tons per hectare according to the season. All fruits that go into the tank are 100% Montepulciano, since its first vintage of 1985.
Winemaking
After the harvest, the grapes are destalked and lightly crushed, then fermented at 27-29°C in steel fermentation tanks for 12-14 days with natural yeasts. Subsequently, the wine moves on to the malolactic fermentation stage. It is aged in 225 litre oak barriques for a period of 12-14 months. After bottling, Cùmaro is left to age further, in a temperature-controlled environment, for about 6-8 months.
Despite its deep ruby colour, the wine presents an intense bouquet opening with lovely ripe plum, blackcurrant and morello cherry notes, finishing spicy on black pepper, vanilla and tobacco. Super smooth tannin, long finish in ripe berry hind-taste. Argubly the best red wine to find in Le Marche.
