The Collequanto Serrapetrona DOC 2018 from Terre di Serrapetrona is an exceptional expression of Vernaccia Nera, an indigenous grape found almost exclusively in the hills of Le Marche, Italy. Traditionally used in sparkling and passito wines, this still red version showcases the grape’s unique personality with elegance and depth.

Hand-harvested grapes from steep, high-altitude vineyards are vinified with care to preserve their natural freshness while highlighting their spicy and aromatic qualities. The result is a wine that feels both traditional and modern, with remarkable versatility at the table.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intense aromas of black cherry, plum, and dried roses layered with black pepper, clove, and a hint of incense.

• Palate: Medium-bodied with lively acidity, silky tannins, and flavors of red currant, blackberry, and warm spice.

• Finish: Elegant and persistent, with savory herbal notes and a touch of minerality.

Food Pairings

Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, braised pork, aged cheeses, and rich pasta dishes with meat sauces. Its balance of spice and fruit also makes it a standout alongside grilled vegetables and charcuterie.
