Winery embracing different territories of the region, Terre Cortesi Moncaro of Montecarotto, in the province of Ancona, is among the wineries of the region to have contributed to the enological impulse of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, Conero, Piceno and Offida areas. The five wines selected for this event, in fact, have well represented the territories in which Terre Cortesi Moncaro is present, with excellent results acclaimed both in Italy and in the world. The story of the territory, the grapes and the peculiarities of the wines of the winery of Montecarotto was curated by Giuliano d'Ignazi - wine maker of Terre Cortesi Moncaro - who, with competence and immediacy, illustrated the characteristics of his wines to the participants of the event. The event started with Verdicchio dei Castelli of Jesi Classico Le Vele 2018, an immediate and direct white, capable of perfectly introducing the potentials of the great white grape of the Marches, with elegant and intense aromas, as well as a taste of good personality. The evening continued with one of the flagship wines of Terre Cortesi Moncaro - Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva Vigna Novali 2014 - a Verdicchio of enormous personality and that, after five years from harvesting, shows both a youth and a remarkable crispness, in addition to a power joined to an impeccable elegance. It is then the turn of the two red wines of the evening, starting with Rosso Piceno Superiore Campo delle Mura 2011, a powerful wine fruit of the blend of Montepulciano and a small part of Sangiovese, aged in cask, expressing fruit-like sensations with pleasant tertiary notes given by time. The evening continued with Conero Riserva Vigneti del Parco 2011, produced with 100% Montepulciano, also in this case aged in cask, which offered an extraordinary opportunity to understand the potentials and the differences of this fascinating red grape in the two territories.
