What kind of wine is Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo
The Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo is a Marche red wine of great character and identity, born from the pure vinification of an ancient Syrah clone.

Vintage Details
The 2008 vintage in Marche was characterized by excellent diurnal temperature variations, ideal conditions for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The result is a balanced wine, with well-integrated tannins and a broad aromatic profile. The manual harvest allowed for the selection of only perfectly ripe bunches, ensuring high-quality raw material.
Vinification and Aging
Fermentation occurs traditionally, with a long maceration on the skins to best extract color and structure. Subsequently, the wine matures for 18 months in oak tonneaux, where it refines and develops complexity, before continuing its journey in concrete tanks for a full 102 months. This long rest allows the wine to harmonize its elements and evolve towards a mature and refined profile.

How to best open and serve Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo
1. Bottle positioning
To best preserve the natural sediments of Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo, position the bottle upright at least 24 hours before opening. This allows deposits to settle at the bottom, facilitating clear and precise pouring. Avoid abrupt movements during handling.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The optimal serving temperature is between 18°C and 20°C. If the wine has been stored in a cellar, let it rest at room temperature for about an hour before opening. Do not use direct heat sources to warm it, as this would alter its complex aromas.
3. Opening the bottle
Proceed gently to prevent the cork from crumbling, a common characteristic of mature wines like this one. Follow these steps:
- Cut the capsule below the ring to prevent contamination during pouring.
- Use a lever corkscrew or a twin-prong cork puller if the cork is particularly fragile.
- Slowly extract the cork, holding the bottle steady and slightly tilted.
4. Inspection and initial tasting
Once opened, observe the wine's color and smell it before serving. A clean and complex aroma indicates good preservation. Pour a small amount into the glass for the first taste: if the taste is balanced and free of cork taint, the wine is ready for decanting.
5. Decanting and aeration
Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo benefits from adequate aeration to best express its aromatic complexity. Follow these tips:
- Slowly pour the wine into a decanter carafe, avoiding disturbing the sediments.
- Let the wine rest in the decanter for 40-60 minutes before serving.
- During decanting, the wine will progressively reveal notes of ripe fruit, spices, and evolved nuances typical of its vintage.
6. Serving
Serve the wine in large glasses, which promote aeration and appreciation of the bouquet. Pour a moderate amount to allow swirling the glass and further aerating the wine. Pair Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo with structured dishes, such as red meats or aged cheeses, to enhance its flavor profile.
7. Storage after opening
If not consumed completely, reseal the bottle with a vacuum stopper and store it in the refrigerator. Consume the wine within 24-48 hours to preserve its aromas and structure. Before serving it again, bring it back to the ideal serving temperature.
By following these steps, you will fully appreciate the complexity and elegance of Marche IGT 'Il San Lorenzo Rosso' 2008 - Fattoria San Lorenzo, a Marche wine that tells the story of time, passion, and the care of a great terroir.
