LACANOSA Rosso Piceno DOC Superiore 'Nummaria'

From our vineyards’ choicest grapes comes Theca

Nummaria, a name meaning "a safe for important

documents" in Latin. This wine is a blend of mostly

Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes, varieties that

represent - as always - a treasure chest of our

winemaking tradition.
