The name Cùmaro is a tribute to Mount Conero, komaros in Greek, which means ‘arbutus’: an ever- green shrub which grows freely in its woodlands. Since 2004 the wine has been entitled to the appellation “DOCG (Guaranteed and Controlled Denomination of Origin) Conero Riserva”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDENOMINATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConero Riserva DOCG\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGRAPE VARIETIES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontepulciano 100%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAREA OF PRODUCTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarche, Conero\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINEYARD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard from which Cùmaro originates is situated on the edge of the municipality of Osimo, facing south-east, at a height of about 150-200 meters above sea level. The terrain, which started out as marine formations from the Pleiocene-Pleistocene era, consists of very deep, chalky loams soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYIELD PER HECTARE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yield is kept within strict limits by very close pruning and targeted thinning, and can vary from five to 6-8 tons per hectare according to the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHARVEST\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are picked by hand, and collected and transported in boxes. Montepulciano is a fairly late variety. Usually, harvest takes place in October, when the grapes have reached peak condition with an advanced degree of phenolic ripening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINIFICATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are destalked and lightly crushed, then fermented at 27-29°C in steel fermentation tanks for 12-14 days with natural yeasts. Subsequently, the wine moves on to the malolactic fermentation stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAGING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aged in 225 litre oak barriques for a period of 12-14 months. After bottling, Cùmaro is left to age further, in a temperature-controlled environment, for about 6-8 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOLOR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby red colour with garnet hints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSCENT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents an intense bouquet opening with lovely ripe plum, blackcurrant and morello cherry notes, finishing spicy on black pepper, vanilla and tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTASTE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mouth is soft and enfolding, with smooth tannins and a pleasant elegant and dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fine companion for rare-cooked red meat, game-birds and mature cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSERVING GLASS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large glass, with a fairly broad body. This allows the correct oxygenation of red wines which have had long ageing in bottle and whose tannins have taken on a softer character, developing complex tertiary aromas which will be well-concentrated in the narrower opening of the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umani Ronchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43379863978208,"sku":"112666","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/umani-ronchi-cumaro-conero-riserva_1.jpg?v=1663889355","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/umani-ronchi-cumaro-conero-riserva-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
