Cellar
The story of Umani Ronchi began fifty years ago, in Cupramontana, the home of classic Verdicchio, and then explored many other areas of the precious land of the Adriatic. Today, Umani Ronchi is the wine company owned by the Bianchi-Bernetti family, which since 1957 has been producing, with care and craftsmanship, wines of great quality, making the most of those grape varieties that find their natural and best expression in the lands of the Marche and Abruzzo: Verdicchio and Montepulciano.
From Serra dei Conti, in the Marche region, to Roseto degli Abruzzi, the company has a 210-hectare vineyard area, all distributed along the Adriatic coast, between the hills and the sea: 185 km of rows and 10 vineyards, each with its own vocation and terroir. Numbers that tell of a continuous, almost spasmodic search for the "best" land and the most advanced agronomic and oenological techniques. From the 1970s to today, the company has doubled the number of hectares owned and renewed the 85% of old vines. It has invested in Verdicchio and Rosso Conero, it has recovered and valorised vines such as Pecorino and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba, always and in any case setting itself qualitatively high oenological objectives.
The Umani Ronchi company is guided by a strong ethical approach, and respects the environment with great consideration for the territory and biodiversity. An approach that immediately becomes concrete when talking about precision viticulture, the management of machinery for vineyard treatments, and organic fertilisation. A sustainable attitude that also guides the choice of materials: the lightweight glass of the bottle has a lower impact on CO2 emissions, while the synthetic stoppers produced from sugar cane are 100% recyclable. Then there is the photovoltaic system for energy production. Everything expresses a sustainable way of thinking and acting.
Description
A rosé wine born in the Montepulciano vineyards located in Roseto degli Abruzzi. A new project, defined after several years of experimentation, whose objective was to produce a wine capable of combining the expressive strength of the Montepulciano vine with a soft and delicate vinification style, enhancing its fresh and fruity nuances, and obtaining a very drinkable and pleasant rosé. Centovie is the Umani Ronchi Organic Rosé.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Delicate pink colour, rose petals, elegant with brilliant reflections. The nose is floral, fresh with delicate citrus hints. On the palate it is elegant and fresh, with good acidity developing hints of red cherry, pink grapefruit and a pleasant, complex and lasting finish.
Storage time:
0-2 years
Vinification
The Montepulciano grapes, harvested at optimal ripeness, are gently transferred to the press for a short maceration at low temperature followed by soft pressing in order to enhance the aromas and not extract too much colour. The must is then fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of approximately 16° C.
