Cùmaro is one of the most important wines in the story of Umani Ronchi, and it can also be numbered among the founding members of the family of fine wines from the Conero area. It was created in the mid-1980s to celebrate the Montepulciano varietal from an area close to the sea with highly calcareous soils, using methods based on very strict selection of grapes in the vineyard and what were, at least then, modern techniques of vinification and aging. The name Cùmaro is a tribute to Mount Conero, komaros in Greek, which means “arbutus”: an evergreen shrub which grows freely in its woodlands. Since 2004, the wine has been entitled to the appellation “DOCG (Guaranteed and Controlled Denomination of Origin) Conero Riserva”.

91pts James Suckling – 2014 vintage

“Shows dark plums and cherries, blackberry bush, dried herbs and balsamic vinegar. Medium to full body, some nicely chewy tannins and a bright finish. Drink now.”

88pts Wine Spectator– 2014 vintage

“This balanced, medium-bodied red offers light tannins and a dusty, spiced overtone to the subtle notes of baked plum, nut and dried dill. Moderate finish. Drink now

91pts Wine Advocate– 2014 vintage

“This is another local celebrity from Marche. I have a vivid memory
of when I first tried this wine about 15 years ago (it has been in
production since 1985), and I remember how it opened a world to me
and my appreciation of the versatile and almost always satisfying
Montepulciano grape. The Umani Ronchi 2014 Conero Riserva Cúmaro is named after the Greek name “Komaros” for an evergreen Arbutus plant that grows commonly on this stretch of Adriatic Coast. This is a plump and generous red that carries a heavy load of black fruit, spice and tobacco. Enjoy it with some roasted lamb and white beans. It ages in barrique for 12 to 14 months. Some 36,000 bottles were made.”
