The Cantina dei Colli Ripani website reads: 'A thick mane and the gaze of one who proudly holds the keys to the city. This is the Leone Ripano, symbol of Ripatransone'. To him, to this mythical figure, this wine is dedicated. After all, it is well known that... "a single glass of Offida DOCG is capable of transferring part of his epic courage to those who drink it". Leo Ripano is the fine Cooperative Society's interpretation of the flagship appellation of the Marche region. At the base, Montepulciano grapes, one of the most important and representative varieties of the region, often flanked by other varieties to enrich its aromatic profile. In the case of Leo Ripano, in particular, Montepulciano is combined with Cabernet Sauvignon, which finds an ideal habitat in the Marche region, bringing structure and complexity to the finished wine. Intense ruby red, the nose is powerful, with clear references to red fruits, spices, chocolate and vanilla.
