Seaside Wine Region
The Moroder winery in Marche Italy is near the hamlet of Montacuto and sits on the Mediterranean seacoast. The narrow ribbon of hilly land that comprises the family estate is encompassed by the Mount Conero Nature Reserve. This is a natural park dedicated to the protection and preservation of the unique flora and fauna of the Mediterranean region.
From Farm to Winery
The ownership of the Marche wineries has been in the Moroder family since the 1700s, but was not renovated as a modern winery until about three decades ago. Alessandro and Serenella Moroder overhauled the cellar and vineyards to decrease the grape production. The support of noted winemaker Franco Bernabei was engendered and the estate now produces five impressive wines. The wines are full-bodies and deep. They are distributed around the globe.
Location and Soil
Moroder winery in Marche Italy sits on the tall cliffs that ring the marine waters. The vines are protected from strong winds and grow in the calcareous clay soil. The soil is suitable for the growth of red grapes such as Montepulciano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Something else that makes these red wines totally unique is the absence of any pesticides or chemicals in the growth. The estate, sited in the middle of the nature reserve is now fully organic.
The Flagship Wine
Marche wineries are the home of Dorico, their best known wine. It is produced from a local clone of the Montepulciano grape. There are similar varieties in the regions of Umbria, but the differences are noticeable. A complex Montepulciano is the Rosso Conero that is only bottled in the best vintage years.
