Selvagrossa 'Muschén' Marche Rosso IGT 2018

Brothers Alessandro and Alberto Taddei, who developed the estate that their grandfather first purchased after returning home from WWII, founded Selvagrossa in 2002. Located between the hills of Pesaro along the Adriatic coast, this small estate is comprised of 4 hectares of organically farmed vineyards planted to sangiovese, cabernet franc, and merlot, as well as the indigenous white grapes biancame and albanella. Alessandro tends to the vineyards while Alberto is an accomplished sommelier, having worked at prestigious restaurants both at home and abroad. Their wines have a suppleness and structure that truly sets them apart from other estates in the Marche. Muschén is a nickname that the brothers’ grandfather, Libero, used to call Alberto, and in Pesaro dialect it translates to “small fly”. This is an every day, approachable wine that pairs well with many foods, having juicy dark fruit, soft tannin, and dryness. Organically grown, low-intervention/natural wine, vegan.
