Moncaro 2006 Cimerio Montepulciano (Conero Riserva)
Focused mineral tones of black stone and ash are followed by mature fruit and spice. Cimerio is a thick, meaty wine that would pair with grilled meats or stews. It is chewy and very sweet with bright black cherry on the close.

Moncaro 2006 Roccaviva Red (Rosso Piceno Superiore)
Roccaviva delivers attractive freshness thanks to its young and raw notes of blueberry, black cherry and sweet raspberry. The wine goes down easy but with determination and imparts a load of sweet berry notes along the way: Pair it with lasagna or risotto.

Le Silve del Parco delivers bright berry fruit and exotic spice over an easy but cheerful mouthfeel. The wine is smooth but firm with sweet cherry flavors that would pair with lamb chops or barbecued chicken.
