De Angelis Description
This family-run estate is situated in Castel di Lama in the Ascoli Piceno region, in southernmost Marche, with vineyard holdings (45 ha) straddling the Abruzzo line. The main vineyard, in Offida, is hilly (280-350m), with eastern exposure and a loose clay soil. First planted in the 1950s, the winery is managed today by proprietor/winemaker Quinto Fausti and his son Alighiero. Gambero Rossonotes that the Faustis practice “rigorous quality selection of the fruit,” ensuring that their whites and reds are among the finest values in Italy. All wines fermented with native yeasts. Certified Organic: IT BIO 009 3342
100% Montepulciano, from the family’s small holdings across the Abruzzo line. Fermentation and 4 months aging in stainless, followed by 6 months in bottle. Medium-bodied and intensely flavorful, but not heavy, with good grip, this gutsy red revels in peppery black currant, plum and morello cherry flavors. (from the importer)
