Origin
The grapes come from a vineyard situated on the edge of the municipality of Osimo, planted with a south-easterly exposure at a height of about 150-200 metres above sea level on very deep, chalky-loam soils. The yield is kept low at between five and seven tonnes per hectare. The grapes were harvested by hand from early September through October.
Producer
The Umani Ronchi story began in 1957 when Gino Umani Ronchi established a small farm in the heart of the Verdicchio Classico region. It was just a few years later that the Bianchi-Bernetti family purchased the farm and although they retained the original name, they have certainly put their own indelible stamp on it. With 210 hectares under vine in Castelli di Jesi, Conero and Abruzzo, and a dedicated winemaking facility in each of these regions, they have achieved scale whilst still retaining an unwavering focus on typicity and quality. The result is a range of wines which highlights both the versatility and the quality potential of the Marche’s and Abruzzo’s native grape varieties.
