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.

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.
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.
Around the 12th century, an ancient villa known as “il castellare de Ylice” stood near our cellar. The name was probably due to the Latin term ilex (holm oak), a particular variety of oak very common in our area. To date, no trace has remained of this historic villa, but the passion and respect we have for our territory has prompted us to pass on the name of that ancient presence.
The “Brecciarolo” Rosso Piceno Superiore is made by the Velenosi winery starting from 70% Montepulciano to which is added 30% Sangiovese. The vines of these two varieties grow in the vineyards located near the towns of Offida and Ascoli Piceno, at about 200-300 meters above sea level.
It should be consumed within the winter following the harvest to appreciate its youthful qualities. Serving temperature 16-17°C. Gastronomic combinations: cured meats, appetizers, first courses, it excels with roasted chestnuts and other typical autumn dishes.
Rosso Piceno Superiore "Solestà Solimando" is a ruby red wine with garnet red reflections. Intense and complex, on the nose notes of red fruit jam and spicy notes of tobacco, licorice and cinnamon. Well structured, complex and harmonious, with great persistence on spicy and fruity tones.
Lacrima is a very particular vine, grown only in the terroir surrounding the municipality of Morro d'Alba. It is said that even Frederick Barbarossa appreciated it in the distant 1167 AD, when he settled in these territories to attack nearby Ancona. A strongly rooted grape, which the Marotti Campi company likes to decline in two versions: in particular this Lacrima Superiore DOC "Orgiolo" stands out for its precious olfactory bouquet, which, combined with an extremely pleasant drink, makes this bottle truly remarkable.

Fortune is said to help the bold. De Lajella, on the other hand, says that it rejoices the spirit. It could not be otherwise by serving a round of Passerina DOCG Offida on the table. It is a straightforward wine, it speaks as it drinks, in dialect. His first name is in fact Agello, just like the homonymous district of Ripatransone, as one of the castles of the city and finally as one of the five hills depicted on the municipal coat of arms. The cat? Do not worry. It meows often, but does not bite.
