Velenosi Roggio Del Filare Rosso 2020

Unlike lighter Montepulciano-based wines, Roggio del Filare gains additional structure and vibrancy through the inclusion of Sangiovese. Compared to purely Sangiovese-driven wines, it offers greater depth and softer tannin integration due to Montepulciano’s influence. This positions it as a refined Italian red that balances regional authenticity with layered complexity, appealing to those seeking both structure and elegance. Tasting Notes The nose opens with blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry, layered with notes of vanilla, tobacco and sweet spice shaped by its 18 months in oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and structured. Concentrated dark fruit and integrated oak unfold across a firm tannic backbone, with balanced acidity maintaining freshness. The finish is long and persistent, leaving impressions of cocoa, spice and dried fruit. Food Pairing  This wine pairs exceptionally well with grilled red meats and slow-cooked dishes, where its firm tannins bind with protein to enhance texture and depth. It also complements aged cheeses, as its structure balances richness, while its oak-driven spice aligns with roasted and savoury flavours.
