TASTING NOTES
From the gently sloping hills on sandy-breccia soil grow the juicy grapes that make up Libenter 2018. An 'indigenous' Bordeaux blend based predominantly on Montepulciano, with a touch of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The north-facing Montepulciano vineyards, and thus constantly cooled by the breeze coming off the Adriatic Sea, yield a full-bodied but also restrained and delicate red, the Sangiovese helps keep the acidity up and the Cabernet brings softness and silkiness. The grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates, and their selection takes place directly in the vineyard, leaving the less than perfect bunches. Fermentation is long and temperature-controlled and maceration is extended to 21 days. The wine is then aged in small barrels for 14 months and then in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months. Deep ruby red in colour, with garnet hues and rims, the nose is fruity and floral, reminiscent of wild berries with light vanilla notes. The taste is warm, opulent with important but soft tannins, it has a long persistence of taste and smell with balsamic notes. It is perfect with meats with mushrooms or truffles, braised and barbecued reds, succulent dishes.

Tenuta di Tavignano is a company that was born in the mid-seventies in a magnificent castle in Cingoli, in the Marche region. The spouses Beatrice Lucangeli and Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, both from a noble family, merge the estate and the wine production. Since 2014 Stefano Aymerich of Laconi has chosen to involve his granddaughter Ondine de la Feld in the management of the Estate, who has accepted the challenge of managing the company in a dynamic and entrepreneurial way to continue the vision of its founders. The property covers 250 hectares and is located in an area called " Balcony of the Marche ", a spectacular terrace with a breathtaking view. The vines are mainly indigenous and the bunches enjoy the temperate microclimate of the surrounding hills. In particular, the Verdicchio vineyards enjoy optimal exposure for ripening. The “Misco” stands out in the collection, a wine that takes its Latin name from the river Miscus (today Musone) and that comes from the luckiest part of the estate. Embellished with the culture of the Castles of Jesi, the Verdicchio from Tavignano estate from year to year is growing in popularity worldwide. Since 2018, the Tenuta di Tavignano is certified organic .
