The elegance of a Terre d'Abruzzo Pecorino by Umani Ronchi

The estate
Founded in 1957 in Cupramontana, the Umani Ronchi estate is a leading name on the Adriatic coast. Now run by the Bianchi-Bernetti family, headed by Michele Bernetti, this internationally renowned house farms more than 200 hectares of vineyards across the Marche and Abruzzo. The estate stands out for its commitment to organic farming and its championing of indigenous grape varieties. Named "Best Italian Winery of the Year 2024", the company successfully combines family heritage, sustainability and great oenological precision.

The vineyard
The grapes for this Italian white wine come from vines planted on deep, cool soils composed mainly of clay and sand. This terroir benefits from excellent diurnal temperature variation, which contributes greatly to the elegance and aromatic complexity of the berries.

Vinification and ageing
The making of this Vellodoro Pecorino begins with hand harvesting in early September. After a gentle pressing, the first must is quickly chilled for static settling. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 16 to 18°C for 10 to 15 days. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, in order to preserve its vibrancy. Finally, it is aged in stainless steel tanks for around four months on its own lees.

Grape variety
100% Pecorino.
