“Cervidoni” Rosso Piceno DOC 2019 (BIO)
Cervidoni, a fresh and pleasantly fruity blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese with great drinkability, smells of herbs and dark berries. Beautifully aromatic on the palate, straightforward and with a fine, smoky note. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2019 Rosso Piceno Cervidoni is fruit-forward, yet it colors within the lines of classical balance, as black cherries and cloves gain lift through a whiff of fresh mint and cedar. It envelopes the palate in dark ripe fruits and subtle spices, motivated by vibrant acidity, as rosy inner florals form toward the close. This tapers off with medium length, crisp and pleasantly dry, leaving hints of licorice to linger on. Very nice." Vinous

“Libenter” Marche Rosso IGT 2018
Libenter, which means like to be, is an exceedingly refined Rosso Piceno that spreads its bouquet of fruits, spices and flowers far and wide. Balanced, juicy, freshly drinkable and not only distinctly typical in taste, but also with remarkable depth and complexity. Very much appreciated - that's what we also say about this high-quality red with distinct seductive qualities. SUPERIORE.DE
"The darkly alluring 2018 Marche Rosso Libenter pulls you close to the glass with a captivating mix of blackberries and dried cherries complemented by autumnal spices, hints of pencil lead and camphor. It’s elegant and velvety in feel, matched by a dense wave of mineral-tinged black fruits offset by nuances of sour citrus, as an air of tobacco forms toward the close. The 2018 leaves the palate drenched in primary concentration and sweet tannins, as hints of mocha mix with a bitter twang of raw hazelnut through the long and lightly structured finale. The 2018 Libenter is already a pleasure from start to finish, but it could use a short stay in the cellar to flesh out." Vinous

“Misco” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Riserva DOC 2018
Tavignano's complex top product Misco Riserva represents the synthesis of the winery's Verdicchio expertise and is their most refined interpretation of the terroir. Starting with the grapes from the Cru Misco vineyard, those grapes are selected that can best develop first in steel and then in the bottle. This ageing highlights the richness of the grape variety, its spicy and mineral notes and provides the ideal conditions for a long ageing, maintaining its aromatic vivacity at all times. SUPERIORE.DE
"Ripe and seductive with some phenols and a hint of honey on the nose and on the palate. Rich and round with good acidity and freshness. Impressive length and intensity." Decanter
"The 2018 Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Riserva Misco holds its power in reserve, showing a delicate yet layered and sweetly scented bouquet that blends white smoke with pretty florals, chamomile, cardamom and melon. Its weighty, almost-oily textures find balance through a core of bright acidity, as lemon rind combines with green apple and hints of ginger to form a fully satiating and spicy experience. For all of the depth and character that the Riserva is showing today, the best is still yet to come,. It tapers off long and tense, while still keeping the mouth watering for more, along with that textbook almondy bitterness that goes on and on. Brava." Vinous

A breathtaking view is offered here from the "Balcony of the Marches"just a few kilometres as the crow flies from the coast near the famous historic port city of Ancona. The Marche, a region with centuries of history, once fiercely contested, today unjustly underestimated. The area around Jesi and Cingoli was already settled in the 5th millennium BC and was a coveted wine and olive-growing area under the Romans. Even a Pope came from here, Pius VIII, so it is no wonder that a couple from old Italian noble families took on this area. In the early 1990s, Contessa Beatrice Lucangeli and Conte Stefano Aymerich di Laconi began to develop the Tenuta di Tavignano into a high-quality winery. High up, between two mountains that seem to be divided by the Esino River, the well-tended vineyards lie on the hills interspersed with clay marl and limestone. The constant breeze dries the vineyards early, the temperature differences between day and night favour the fruit development.
The region is also called the home of Verdicchio. And the mineral white wines with the designation Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC are virtually the flagships of Tenuta di Tavignano. "Misco" and "Misco Riserva" have almost a subscription to the highest awards that Italian wine guides have to give out. In 2017, too, they were awarded the coveted "tre bicchieri" of the Gambero Rosso - in addition, the "Misco" Verdicchio 2015 was awarded the title "best white wine in Italy" ennobled.
Conte Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, or the "Engineer"as the great-great-great-great-grandson of the Sardinian viceroy is called here at his own request, likes to explain why his Verdicchio is so appreciated. It is not only the microclimate and terroir, but also the restrictions in the vineyard. Only a maximum of 3,000 canes are planted here in cordon training, because both Guyot training and a higher cane density, which are common in modern vineyards, are counterproductive for Verdicchio. He also relies fully on autochthonous grape varieties (Montepulciano and Sangiovese) for red wine; only a mini-percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon is used for the cuvée of his Rosso Piceno. Regional specialities, such as the fragrant Pecorino or the spicy Passerina, two little-known regional white wines, as well as the red speciality Barbarossa from the grape variety Lacrima di Morro d’Alba complete the exclusive programme.
