Rosso Piceno KER 2019

Classic Marche Red – 2019 Vintage, Now 7 Years Old and Beautifully Mature. Rich, Smooth, Savoury and Wonderfully Food-Friendly.

Romagnoli KER 2019 is a classic Rosso Piceno DOC from the rolling hills of Italy's Marche region, produced by the family-owned Azienda Agricola Romagnoli near Morro d'Alba. A traditional blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese, this appealing red combines the rich, dark fruit and generous structure of Montepulciano with Sangiovese's lively acidity, elegance and savoury character.

The estate cultivates approximately 18 hectares of vineyards, focusing on authentic regional varieties and wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of the Marche hills. KER represents the approachable, gastronomic side of the winery's portfolio, offering generous fruit and satisfying depth without excessive heaviness.

The 2019 displays an attractive deep ruby-red colour with developing garnet reflections and an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, dark plums and wild berries, complemented by violets, Mediterranean herbs, gentle spices and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it is dry, medium- to full-bodied, beautifully rounded and harmonious, with juicy dark fruit, refreshing acidity, softened tannins and a pleasantly long, savoury finish.

Now 7 years old in 2026, KER 2019 has reached an attractive stage of maturity. Its youthful fruit intensity has developed additional complexity, with appealing notes of dried cherries, earthy herbs, tobacco and gentle spice. The tannins have softened, creating a smooth, approachable texture while the wine retains the freshness that makes Rosso Piceno so versatile with food.

Unlike more powerful, heavily extracted Italian reds, KER celebrates balance, authenticity and everyday drinking pleasure. Its combination of mature fruit, gentle tannins and savoury complexity makes it an excellent choice for both traditional Italian cuisine and richly flavoured Asian dishes.

A beautifully mature Italian red – rich, smooth and wonderfully versatile. Seven years of development have brought additional complexity, making this an excellent time to enjoy the outstanding-value 2019 vintage.
