Vigneti Vallorani Polisia Piceno Superiore 2017

Polisia is a Piceno Superiore DOC made from certified organic Sangiovese and Montepulciano grown on the family's estate in Colli del Tronto, in the Ascoli Piceno province of southern Marche. The south-facing vines range from 35 to 55 years old and grow on clay-dominant medium-mix soils. The two varieties are fermented separately in stainless-steel tanks using native yeasts, with cold pre-fermentation maceration and extended skin contact of approximately 15 days.

After fermentation, the wine is aged on the fine lees in stainless steel with regular batonnage, allowing the wine to reach aromatic richness and natural stability without the use of corrective additives. It then spends additional time in bottle before release. The 2017 vintage received a Silver Medal with a score of 92/100 at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Sangiovese contributes the wine's bright acidity, floral lift, and mineral spine, while Montepulciano adds depth of color, plummy fruit, and soft tannin structure. The result is a wine that is structured but genuinely drinkable, with no oak influence. Alcohol is 13.5%.

Vigneti Vallorani uses no synthetic chemicals in the vineyard or winery and has been certified organic for over 20 years. The estate is a member of TerroirMarche, an association of small independent Piceno and Castelli di Jesi producers.
