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 Cmaro is a tribute to Mount Conero, komaros in Greek, which means arbutus: an ever- green shrub which grows freely in its woodlands.

“So silky it almost took my breath away. The tannins feel like cashmere. So limpid that they seem to glow, holding the fruit up like jewels to the light. Dark cherry, damson; pure, pulsing luminosity dusted with the finest textured spiciness of cinnamon and Darjeeling tea leaf. Extraordinarily empyrean for Montepulciano almost Pinot-like! Haunting beauty. Drink 2024-2032.“ JancisRobinson.com
