What a great experience! Amazing wine and snacks, but aside from that the people were great! They were super nice and went the extra mile to give us a great experience and gave us a great deal. I highly recommend.

My sister and I went to Ascoli Piceno for the last few days of our tour in Italy. It was important for us because our grandparents came from that region in the beginning of the 20th century. Our tour guide Stephane met us at the hotel and drove us to Velenosi winery. The winery is on a slope surrounded be vineyards and an olive grove. You can see the mountains in the distance. Francesco our guide spoke English perfectly and explained to us the environmental factors that contribute to the taste of the wine. We had a lovely white wine called ‘Pecorino’ that goes well with snacks, chicken, fish, cheese. Pecorino has a beautiful light color and kind of sweet. The second wine that we tasted was a red wine, more full bodied called ‘Brecciarolo’. A very smooth wine that pairs well with meat and almost
anything. We had another white wine but I cannot remember the name. Anyway, there were an assortment of cheese, prosciutto and other regional specialities to go with the wine. I brought the Pecorino and the Brecciarolo back to Paris with me. My family loved the wine. Now I have to find more. Stephane took us back to the hotel but no before showing us a local site or two. It was a great experience. Thanks.

Sabato mattina libero, decido di visitare una delle più blasonate realtà della provincia di Ascoli Piceno. Prenoto una degustazione per le ore 11 e al Wine shop mi accoglie Giulio, giovane responsabile dell'accoglienza del punto vendita, che mi aspetta per assaggiare i vini delle loro diverse gamme. La visita è piacevole, dettagliata e precisa i vini sono ottimi e con un favoloso rapporto qualità prezzo e chi me li spiega si capisce che è preparato ed appassionato. Due ore volano senza accorgermene.
Con il bel tempo si effettuano anche le visite in vigna, peccato avere scelto una giornata uggiosa! Mi sarebbe piaciuto poter visitare anche la cantina di produzione, ma purtroppo il sabato non è possibile !
