The 2016 Fontezoppa Marche Vernaccia Nera Moro Serrapetrona is a striking example of Italy’s unique terroir, earning a remarkable 96 points from James Suckling. This wine captivates with its deep ruby hue and an aromatic profile that bursts with ripe dark cherries, hints of black pepper, and a subtle earthiness that speaks to its volcanic soil origins. On the palate, it is both lush and vibrant, showcasing a beautifully balanced acidity that lifts the rich fruit flavors and adds a refreshing finish. Ideal for a cozy gathering or a special dinner featuring grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes, this wine offers an exceptional experience that far exceeds its original retail price, making it a smart buy for quality seekers.
