San Filippo
San Filippo is situated in Offida, a village in Marche's southern reaches, where the Adriatic climate and limestone-rich soils shape wines of mineral precision. The winery produces Piceno Rosso, a blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano that expresses the region's dual heritage—the elegance and acidity of Sangiovese paired with the darker fruit and structure of Montepulciano. This combination is characteristic of central Italian reds, where the two varieties often complement each other across the Apennines. Wine Spectator has rated the Piceno Rosso, reflecting its standing among serious expressions of the Offida terroir. The wine captures the essence of Marche's underappreciated potential, where volcanic and calcareous soils yield reds of depth and food-friendly balance.
