About
The Umani Ronchi story began in 1957 when Gino Umani Ronchi established a small farm in the heart of the Verdicchio Classico region. It was just a few years later that the Bianchi-Bernetti family purchased the farm and although they retained the original name, they have certainly put their own indelible stamp on it. With 210 hectares under vine in Castelli di Jesi, Conero and Abruzzo, and a dedicated winemaking facility in each of these regions, they have achieved scale whilst still retaining an unwavering focus on typicity and quality. The result is a range of wines which highlights both the versatility and the quality potential of the Marche’s and Abruzzo’s native grape varieties.
The grapes come from vineyards located predominantly in the provinces of Chieti and Teramo, trained using the tendone system. Harvest was carried out by hand in late September and early October. Following a pre-fermentation maceration lasting a maximum of ten days, alcoholic and then malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats. The wine was left to mature for four months in stainless steel before bottling.
