2022 Le Caniette Rosso Bello Rosso Piceno DOC Marche 6pk 6x750ml

Le Caniette has been quietly making wine in Ripatransone since the 1960s — old-school Marche, family-run, still owned by the Vagnoni family. Rosso Piceno DOC sits inland from the Adriatic coast, where hillside vineyards on sand and limestone deliver Sangiovese with fresh red-fruit drive and enough structure to punch well above the price.

Rosso Bello is a 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano, the traditional pairing in this part of Marche. Six to nine days on the skins, then exclusively steel — no oak, no fuss. The steel preserves the bright fruit character of each grape, keeping the wine fresh, tannic, and food-ready.

The 2022 shows intense ruby color, fruity aromas of blackberries, currants, and black cherries, with earthy undertones of damp forest floor, moss, and fern. Notable body, finely present tannins, excellent freshness, and long persistence. The kind of balance that makes you reach for the next glass.
