- A rounded, tangy Grechetto with fruity, spicy notes complemented by hints of apricot and sage, through to a pleasant almond note on the finish. With the utmost respect for the environment, four hectares of the vineyard have been dedicated to low-impact farming, where machines are not used, and the work is carried out almost entirely with the help of animals. Draught horses plough the soils, which preserves the soil structure through low compaction, and geese are bred to ‘clean’ the vineyard. Over 400 geese run free and feed on the grass that spontaneously grows between the vines.
The vineyard is situated in the DOC Colli Martani and DOC Montefalco, directly opposite the hill town of Assisi in Central Umbria. The hilly terrain is rich and mineral, with clay-calcareous soils and good water retention properties to sustain the vines through the long, hot summers. The Grechetto variety is planted at 400 metres above sea level, where the vineyard benefits from gentle breezes on this hillside location, which aerate the vines, keeping them healthy. The Guyot and spur-cordon-trained vines are planted at a density of 4,000 to 5,000 vines per hectare and produce low yields. The vineyard is cultivated to ensure the soil is balanced, biodiversity is preserved, and the grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning hours to maintain freshness and fully express the essence of the land.

| Winery | Established in 1971, the family estate is now run by Emma Di Filippo and her two sons, Francesco and Filippo Franchi. Since 1994, the estate has been certified organic. Di Filippo believes in respecting the rhythm of nature by adopting organic cultivation and following the philosophy of biodynamic farming. This, in turn, results in lower fruit yields, which translates into exceptionally characteristic wines. Situated in Cannara, in Perugia, the 30-hectare estate overlooks Assisi on the rolling hills between Torgiano and Montefalco in Umbria. With the utmost respect for the environment, four hectares of the vineyard have been dedicated to low-impact farming, where machines are not used, and the work is carried out almost entirely with the help of animals. Draught horses plough the soils, which preserves the soil structure through low compaction, and geese are bred to ‘clean’ the vineyard. Over 400 geese run free and feed on the grass that spontaneously grows between the vines. |
