About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Viticulture has ancient roots around Montefalco. Grechetto is closely associated with the area and finds a particularly suitable habitat in the surrounding hills. The vines are Guyot trained at a density of 5,500 plants per hectare, with a yield of 80–90 q/ha. Harvest takes place at the end of September.

Grapes

90% Grechetto and 10% Sauvignon.

Ageing

The wine matures for three months in steel, followed by at least three months in bottle.

Technical data

Montefalco Grechetto DOC. The first vintage was produced in 2016. Available in a 0.75 L bottle, with an ageing potential of three to five years.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow in colour. The aroma combines intense yellow-fleshed fruit with delicate floral notes. The palate is dry and balanced, with the fresh character typical of Grechetto.

Label / history

Created as a versatile expression of Montefalco Grechetto, the wine reflects the estate’s research and innovation work focused on quality and sustainability.
