Rosso Piceno Aurora,  Franco Aurora, organic wine, 100% Montepulciano, medium bodied, fruit packed and structured red, delicious natural style. Franco Aurora’s basic Rosso Piceno is encouragingly slightly cloudy in appearance. Particularly as you get nearer the bottom of the bottle. Beautifully ripe and lush fruit character oozes out on nose and palate but with no confected flavours or funkiness.

About the producer: Franco Auroras place is at the end of a dirt track which goes past Ciu Ciu (over a million bottles a year) and arrives at a small 15 hectare farm dried out by the sun and with swooping vineyards which fall away off the hillside to the beautiful valley below.
