San Lorenzo Rosso Montelulciano
Summary Umani Ronchi San Lorenzo Rosso Conero is a premium red from the Conero DOC in the Marche region of central Italy. Made from 100% Montepulciano grapes (the variety behind Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, but here from the Conero terroir), it's sourced from the single "San Lorenzo" vineyard in Osimo on calcareous soils near the Adriatic coast. Fermented and aged (part in large oak casks and part in barriques) to enhance structure while maintaining fruit vibrancy, this wine balances Conero's elegance with Montepulciano's power—rich, harmonious, and age-worthy (drink now with decanting or cellar 5-10 years). Food-friendly and sophisticated, pair with roasts, game, aged cheeses, hearty pasta, or grilled meats.

Expert Review "Brilliant ruby red colour with garnet tints. The nose is sweet, predominantly fruity, with typical notes of morello cherry. Rich and pulpy in the mouth, flavourful and pleasantly harmonious, with silky tannins. The long finish is austere and intensely fruity." – Umani Ronchi producer tasting note (consistent across recent vintages like 2021-2023; often praised for elegant Montepulciano expression, silky tannins, and Conero terroir)
The Frenchman Says "This San Lorenzo Rosso Conero strides into the glass like a coastal Marche sunset, erupting with morello cherry richness, silky dark fruit, and a cheeky balsamic spice tease — harmonious, velvety, and full of elegant power, it leaves you warmed, satisfied, and inviting another robust pour."
