Rosso Cònero
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Established in 1973 in the Marche region, the Rosso C"nero DOC distinguishes itself from neighboring appellations by rejecting the tiered complexity of 'superiore' or 'riserva' classifications, focusing instead on a single base red wine. This dry, full-bodied wine must contain at least 85% Montepulciano grapes harvested at a maximum yield of 13.0 tonnes per hectare. Produced across seven municipalities including Camerano and Numana, the regulations mandate no minimum aging period, though winemakers can opt for wood conservation to introduce a light woody note. Vinification is normally restricted to this delimited zone, barring historical exceptions in the broader Ancona province.
