Rosso Cònero

The influence of human factors in the production area of Rosso Cònero wine has been crucial to the choice of grape varieties to be grown, the development of vine cultivation techniques and oenological practices, and there are signs of viticulture and oenology dating back to the 10th century BC.

These factors interact with the very distinctive and unique natural features of the area, which are mainly characterised by the presence of Monte Cònero. Here, the Montepulciano variety has found its ideal growing area, making ‘Rosso Cònero’ PDO wines unique and impossible to reproduce elsewhere.
