The name comes from the Middle Ages: the "grosso agontano" was one of the most important silver coins in Italy, minted by the Maritime Republic of Ancona in the 13th century. A coin for trade routes, for trust, for value. Garofoli did not choose this name by chance – it sets the standard for their most important red wine. It only appears in the best years. Then, when the harvest in the Piancarda vineyard – within the Monte Conero nature reserve, on calcareous clay soil – the quality that justifies the DOCG classification. 100% Montepulciano, hand-picked, 10 to 15 days of maceration for maximum depth of colour and tannin structure, followed by malolactic fermentation. Maturation: 18 months in barriques, then more than 12 months in the bottle.

Dark ruby red with garnet nuances. The nose is intense and multi-layered – marasca cherry, plum jam, tobacco, liquorice, a hint of vanilla from the wood. Warm and velvety on the palate, with great persistence and a final that lingers for a long time. A wine that only appears when it is ready. And then convinces all along the line. SUPERIORE.DE
