Score: 89Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe 2020 Rosso Piceno Superiore Brecciarolo bursts from the glass with a spicy mix of crushed black cherries, grilled herbs and ashen stone. This is soft-textured yet juicy in character with rosy inner florals that resonate over a core of ripe Montepulciano fruit. This leaves a staining of concentration yet maintains wonderful energy as a burst of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering for more. The Velenosi Rosso Piceno Superiore represents tremendous value. This is a blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2019James SucklingGive this a minute or two of air to bring out the chocolatey oak and ripe berries and cherries on the nose. Medium-bodied with the same mix of fruit and oak, lightly chewy tannins and a firm finish. Needs another year to mellow a little. Try from 2023.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2018James SucklingFresh black fruit on the nose and palate with hints of blueberries and minerals. Full-bodied, with a sturdy but well integrated tannin support. Long, spicy finish. Not complex, but all in balance. Drink or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2018Vinous MediaThe 2018 Rosso Piceno Brecciarolo is dusty and perfumed, mixing blackberries with dried flowers and hints of animal musk. This is silky-smooth and luxurious in feel, casting a polished display of mocha-tinged fruits across the palate. There’s an unexpected weight here, kept in check by lifting acidity and a hint of sour citrus, which paves the path to a note of tart woodland berries toward the close. While a bit shorter than anticipated, the Brecciarolo finishes fresh and classically dry, leaving only hints of licorice and spice to linger. This blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese has a sheen of oak that dominates to a certain degree, yet it’s implemented quite nicely.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
