| Winery | Pecorello is a native variety grown in the Calabria region. A relatively thick-skinned grape it has medium vigour; it is mid-to-late ripening and is noted for producing aromatic wines. The Ippolito 1845 Pecorello grapes come from the Feudo and the Difesa Piana vineyards, two renowned viticultural areas in the Ciro Marina, located in the southern tip of Italy. Both vineyards are near the beach, where coastal breezes influence the warm and sunny vineyards. The vines are trained on the traditional espalier system at a density of 5,600 plants per hectare. The soils in each vineyard differ slightly: the soil in the Feudo vineyard is deep, alluvial, and of medium texture, while the soil of the Difesa Piana vineyard is sandy loam. The combination of the aromatic characteristics of the Pecorello variety, the distinctive soil types, and the proximity to the sea produce a complex and elegant wine with a Southern soul. The vines are cultivated according to organic and sustainable principles, and the grapes are manually harvested in early September. |
