Wines on Offer

Our first hectare, the one from which the history of Pecorino began. The first parent of Colle Vecchio is today dedicated to Guido Cocci Grifoni and to the bottle that bears his name. It is our most recent version of Pecorino, a wine made in a few numbered specimens, in memory of who, where and when. And not to praise or glorify the past, but to photograph a moment of our past that has become present and future. Using descriptors today, for a wine that will have a life of more than ten years, seems almost out of place. Only a few notes therefore, to give a reference, a trace of his first, very young expressions. Among our whites it is certainly the fullest, the most saline, the most present and the softest. It opens with notes of ripe apple and then moves on to intense and fleshy yellow flowers. The aromatic herbs come forward decisively, accompanying a fascinating scent of star anise.

A milestone of our hills brought to light thanks to the adventurous spirit of Guido Cocci Grifoni. Some wonder who took over the lead. We in the winemaking choices, he in the expression of his nature. Neither one nor the other. We have listened to and explored his intentions for years, respecting and supporting his nature and his inclinations so that he became what he wanted to be. And today it is a dry, intrepid wine with impactful acidity, full and soft. Fruity of ripe pear, it turns to floral notes of lily of the valley and broom and then returns to fruit, this time tropical, such as mango. The freshness is manifested with accents of lemon grass and sage to be enjoyed for years.

And we too walk the path of the Martinotti Method. Because it is a piece of all-Italian history, because a glass of bubbles induces an immediate smile, because the Passerina vine benefits from the second fermentation in an autoclave which amplifies its wheel of perfumes, maintaining its freshness and salinity. Passerina Brut carries with it an imaginary made of joy and celebrations. With this spirit we vinify it in the hope that, once in your glasses, it will be as much a source of happiness for you as it is for us to produce it. An explosion of wild flowers, hints of cedar, tasty snuff-box peaches and crunchy white cherries. The perlage is subtle and the sweetness imperceptible for a decisive sip that tells the story of the territory.

Falerio Pecorino tells a story that comes from the past. A blend that, in our bottle, sees Trebbiano refine the power of Pecorino for a glass suitable for the most carefree moments of the day, including those at the table. Pear-fruity, it moves to floral sensations that bring back jasmine, then returning to the fruit with green notes of kiwi and round sensations of passion fruit. The sincere and pounding sip of Pecorino relaxes on the memories of wild flowers typical of the Trebbiano that accompanies it in this bottle.

Known for its generosity in producing fruit, Passerina has always quenched the thirst of a large number of people. Today we know its needs and we know how to make it express its effective potential. Indeed, it is capable of describing a floral bouquet of rare freshness. We offer it in its still version, from the grapes of the Tenuta San Basso, full of May flowers and rounded off by ripe fruit. The opening is citrusy of cedar, but linden flowers and very fresh chamomile appear shortly after. This last perfume is repeated harvest after harvest, giving a recognizable trait to our Passerina, evidently defined by our land. The sip swells with ripe yellow plum and pink apple, giving fullness to the very fresh character of this wine.

The wine of our countryside, the wine of our peasant tradition, the wine of sharecropping. At the time there was no talk of blends, wine was not produced to be sold, but to be drunk. The purpose was only one. Bring a nice bottle of red wine to the table every day. Each family chose whether and how long to leave it in the barrels but one thing was certain, there were two vines in those barrels: Montepulciano and Sangiovese. Today as then, we re-propose that union of two grape varieties that have always been together. With an exuberant nature, this wine tells of a panorama that is colored with brilliant tones. Raspberries, cyclamen, morello cherries. At the end, a surprising citrus touch of chinotto refreshes and invites you to fill your glasses.

The last born in the cellar, which immediately became popular. We owe the exceptional success of this label not only to the notoriety of the vine, but above all to the versatility of the wine we have obtained. It is a wine that finds multiple opportunities to express itself since it is capable of giving great satisfaction both as an aperitif and throughout the meal. From peach blossoms it moves to wild strawberries to arrive at buttery notes of strawberry tree sharpened by precise memories of pink grapefruit. Dry and soft, with a long fruity finish, it is gentle like the summer breeze of the most rosy sunsets.
