The history of Umani Ronchi began fifty years ago, in Cupramontana, homeland of Verdicchio Classico, and then explored many other areas of the precious land of the Adriatic Sea. Today Umani Ronchi is the winery owned by Bianchi-Bernetti family, which since 1957 has been producing with care and craftsmanship, wines of great quality, by valuing those grapes which find their natural and best expression in the lands of Marche and Abruzzo: Verdicchio and Montepulciano.
From Serra dei Conti, in the Marches region, to Roseto degli Abruzzi, the winery has a 210 hectares of vineyards all distributed along the Adriatic coast, between the hills and the sea: 185 km of rows and 10 vineyards, each one with its own vocation and terroir. Numbers that tell about a continuous, almost spasmodic, research about the "best" land and the most evolved agronomic and enological techniques. From the 1970's to today, the winery has doubled the number of hectares owned and has renewed the 85% of old vines. It has invested on Verdicchio and Rosso Conero, it has recovered and valorised grapes such as Pecorino and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, always and however setting high quality enological objectives.
Umani Ronchi winery is guided by a strong ethical approach and respects the environment having great consideration for the territory and biodiversity. An approach which becomes immediately concrete when talking about precision viticulture, management of machines for vineyard treatments and organic manuring. A sustainable attitude which also guides the choice of materials: the light glass of the bottle determines a lower impact on CO2 emissions, whereas the synthetic stoppers produced from sugar cane, are 100% recyclable. Then there is the photovoltaic system for the production of energy. Everything expresses a sustainable way of thinking and acting.
