This wine with a long-lasting taste and strong aroma comes from a vineyard situated in "Le Busche" at Montecarotto in the centre of the Verdicchio Classico production area. This area has been known since the end of the medieval age for the excellence of vine-growing. After the grapes have been gently crushed, the must is decanted at a temperature of fifteen degrees centigrade and alcoholic fermentation takes place in Allier and Troncais casks, into which the selected yeasts are inserted. After about twenty days of alcoholic fermentation, the wine consequently undergoes lactic fermentation. "Batonnage" is then carried out once a week. After about eight months all the wine is transferred into a single stainless steel contain, where it remains until it is bottled. It is aged in bottles for ten months under controlled temperatures. The wine is a golden yellow colour with greenish reflections and has a full, spicy bouquet with a hint of vanilla and exotic fruits, and a strong, rich, velvety and long-lasting taste. Contains sulphites. Produced by Azienda Vinicola Umani Ronchi Spa - Via Adriatica 12 - 60027, Osimo (AN) - Italy.
The producer
Since the beginning of its history, Umani Ronchi has distinguished itself as a great interpreter of two of the most typical wines of the Marche region, Verdicchio and Rosso Conero. Massimo Bernetti, who since the 1990s has been joined in the management of the company by his son Michele, has created wines which are appreciated throughout the world, has renovated the vineyard stock and has refurbished the great winery at Osimo, but he is not yet satisfied and stubbornly insists on following the imperatives of a product of the highest quality. All this translates into serious work of experimental agronomy and vineyard care, and the adoption of the most advanced techniques of cultivation and vinification. In the last few years the growth of interest in the wines produced in the neighbouring region of Abruzzo led Umani Ronchi in 2002 to purchase a 30 hectare holding in the Teramane hills, a designated sub-area of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo appellation.

How to serve it

How to keep
This isn't a wine that improves with age, and if possible should be drunk within very few years of purchase. The bottles should be laid horizontally in a cool, dark, humid wine-cellar.
