Roberto Lucarelli 'La Ripe' Sangiovese Colli Pesaresi IGT 2023

The 2023 La Ripe shows a bright ruby hue and a lively, youthful nose of sour cherry, wild berries, rose petals and a gentle spice lift. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-forward, carried by refreshing acidity and fine, polished tannins that frame a juicy red-fruit core. Texture is supple, balance is precise, and the finish is dry, clean and moderately persistent, with a faint saline snap echoing the limestone soils of the Pesaro hills. An easy-to-love, regionally expressive Sangiovese that shines with pasta, grilled white meats and semi-aged cheeses.
