The Story Behind the Wine

Founded in 1984 by Angela and Ercole Velenosi, the Velenosi winery has grown from a modest 9 hectares to an expansive 148 hectares, producing 2.5 million bottles annually distributed across 52 countries. Their vineyards, situated in the hills overlooking the Adriatic Sea at nearly 1,000 feet above sea level, benefit from clay and limestone soils that impart finesse and structure to their wines. Collaborating with esteemed winemaker Attilio Pagli, recognized by Decanter Magazine as one of the world's top 30 winemakers, Velenosi continues to elevate the profile of Marche's indigenous varietals.
