Casal Farneto set about reviving the potential of great Verdicchio in the Marche, hiring winemakers from icons like Fontodi Flaccianello and Tua Rita. This red offering comes from just south in Abruzzo, famous for its plummy, ripe, textured reds. Colle Quieto shows aromas of spice, wild strawberry and moist black soil. It is medium weight with red cherry and black plum flavours, with great grip and firmness.
