Vintage: 2018 Grape variety: Montepulciano 70%, Sangiovese 30% Aging: Stainless steel tank Origin: Marche Alcohol content: 14 % Closure: Natural cork Il Podestà is the pride of Cantina Offida.

A complex, well-structured tasting experience.

Vintage: 2019 Grape variety: Montepulciano, Sangiovese Ageing: Barrique Origin: Spinetoli, Marche Alcohol: 13.5% Closure: Natural cork Volume: 0.75l The "Piediprato" comes from a small vineyard of around six hectares in the Spinetoli area (approximately 120 metres above sea level), with a south-south-west exposure on medium-heavy soils. The blend consists of 50% Montepulciano and 50% Sangiovese, with the grapes grown organically. After hand harvesting, the wine is vinified and aged partly in concrete and/or large wooden barrels. The alcohol content is around 13.5% vol. Overall, the wine is relatively full-bodied yet remains highly drinkable. In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby-red colour with violet hues. On the nose, it offers aromas of black cherries, dark berries, liquorice and exotic spices, accompanied by a subtle spice note. On the palate, it impresses with good body, a silky texture, noticeable but well-integrated tannins and a lingering, elegant finish. According to expert reviews, the wine is "rustic in character with unmistakable personality, always ready to drink"—while also embodying the typical wildness of true Marche red wines. The Piediprato is best enjoyed at a serving temperature of around 16–18°C. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, game, aged hard cheeses or traditional pasta dishes with meat sauce. Thanks to its structure and finesse, it can also be savoured on its own. While it already brings pleasure in its youth, reviews suggest it has the potential for ageing, even up to 2035.

Vintage: 2016 Grapes: Montepulciano 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Ageing: Barrique Origin: Marche Alcohol content: 14.5 % Closure: Natural cork The name Serpente Aureo refers to the historic main street of the town of Offida, as well as to the old theatre. This wine is made from slightly overripe grapes of the Montepulciano and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties, sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites. Harvesting takes place in late autumn, exclusively by hand. Following the harvest, the winemaking process—featuring extended maceration and several weeks of alcoholic fermentation—imparts the wine with remarkable structure, ensuring excellent ageing potential. To refine Serpente Aureo and enhance its elegance, the final stage of production involves ageing for 36 months in French barriques and tonneaux, followed by a further 6 months in bottle before release.
