From a forward-looking winery Angela Velenosi is the new president of the Consorzio Piceno Doc Change at the top of the Consorzio Piceno: Angela Velenosi, owner of the Velenosi winery founded in 1984, is the new president. Over the years, Angela has shown entrepreneurial talent and knowledge of the territory, becoming with time an ambassador of Marche wine to the world. “I’m very happy about the nomination,” said the new president, “above all because it’s an expression of the confidence of all my colleagues, including the small wineries. The three years ahead will certainly be demanding and I hope to be able to successfully follow the road undertaken during the presidency of Massimiliano Bartolomei and contribute to the consolidation and showcasing of one of the best zones for winemaking in Italy and the world.” Moreover, Angela has shown she has clear ideas about how to move ahead. “The consorzio strategy is simple,” said Velenosi. “Aim constantly for high quality, starting from a level that is already good, and see that the wine finds a stronger identity, concentrating on our inherent traits: pleasant to drink, easy to pair with both territorial and innovative dishes, light and delicate aromas, freshness typical of the soil of the Ascolani and Fermani hills. These characteristics are typical of our wines and should be affirmed in the cellar and in communications with our consumers. Quality and identity are our watchwords.” About her commitment to OFFIDA Docg Pecorino and Docg Passerina, both indigenous monovarietals, she says “We are also dedicated to the consolidation of Rosso Piceno, and to the Superiore type, which is already known and recognized, and to the Falerio denomination. We can and must focus more on spotlighting the distinctive character of these grapes. We can promote the territory through its excellent products because our protected wine denominations are surely the first line of promotion of the Piceno.”

16 ROADSHOW EXTRA Tenuta di Bibbiano Castellina in Chianti

ommaso Marrocchesi Marzi is a member of the fifth generation of winemakers at Tenuta di TBibbiano, located in Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of Chianti Classico. Vineyards are managed organically, and in the winemaking cellars, procedures are minimalist, with everything based on the quality of the grapes. The results are labels full of character and personality that have shown, with comforting continuity, clear expressivity and ties to the territory. The etichetta nera, already bottled in 1969, is the Chianti Classico that reveals a return to a hyper- traditional style – drinkable, flavorful and energetic. Chianti Classico Montornello, aged in barrique, shows more complex notes of fruit and underbrush. The reserve label, Chianti Classico Vigna del Capannino, comes from the southern slope where clones of sangiovese grosso grow.
