Umbrone
Full-bodied and powerful with a characteristic raisin flavour
Wine made from late-picked grapes of typical local varieties (Sagrantino, Sangiovese Grosso, and Merlot) harvested by hand. The vines, located at an altitude of 340 meters in clayey-marly soils rich in limestone, have an annual production of less than 40 quintals per hectare. Much like Amarone, the Umbrone uses dried grapes in the blend.
After fermentation for 15 days on the skins, the wine matures exclusively in steel for 12 months and ages for 6 months in the bottle. In order to enhance the full range of fruity complex, the wine does not undergo maturation in wood.
This still wine, with aromas and flavors reminiscent of a raisin wine and confit red fruit, has an elaborate structure, tannins and acidity, high degree alcohol and long persistent aftertaste.

Tasting Notes
Dark red wine, the nose shows aromas of sour cherries, spices, stewed plums, red berries and undergrowth. The taste is warm, with a wealth of fruity aromas, confit red fruit and blackberry; the tannins are prominent but well balanced, combined with a strong note of freshness.
Food Pairing
A wine of considerable structure, it is recommended in combination with seasoned cheeses, braised meats, game and elaborate or grilled meats.

Our Olive Oil
Our olive groves flourish in clay-marl soils where over 500 trees belonging to nineteen native varieties have been carefully tended, many for generations.
We specialise in the prized Moraiolo variety, an ancient Umbrian cultivar that produces extraordinarily rich oils high in antioxidants, alongside the rare San Felice monovarietal oil known for its elegant almond and white flower notes.
Each harvest is done entirely by hand, and every drop of oil from our DOP-certified trees reflects both the exceptional terroir and our commitment to preserving these ancient varieties.
