2020 Cumaro Conero Riserva, Umani Ronchi
Cumaro is one of the most important wines in the story of Umani Ronchi, created in the mid eighties to celebrate the Montepulciano variety of vine in Conero, an area close to the sea with highly calcareous soils. The name Cùmaro is a tribute to Mount Conero, komaros in Greek, which means ‘arbutus’: an ever- green shrub which grows freely in its woodlands.
"A chewy and firm red showing black cherries, nutmeg, cedar, coffee beans and orange peel on the nose. It’s full-bodied and compact, with a sturdy tannin frame. A little woody for now, but long and with potential. Try from 2026." James Suckling
