Tre Monti

Being among the pioneers of Georgian amphora (kvevri) winemaking in Romagna was truly an inspiring privilege for us. Amphorae are a splendid tool: they have proved to be an incredible accelerator and concentrator for the maturation of Albana wine, without however affecting even a single pinch of its varietal profile! And so Vitalba was born in 2013: a successful gamble, now the white "flag" of our company.

The most "Romagna" vine we have, a true and unique expression of the territory, in its 'dry' version, the one we love most.

Our most important red, from the best vineyard of the Petrignone farm, dedicated to mother Thea: when she died, it was 1989, we were little more than kids, we decided to continue her passion, and, if one day we produced a wine very good, to dedicate it to her. It took ten years, but we were happy, in 1999, to present Thea 1997. Dedicated to you, mom.

The link with tradition and the territory is important, very important, but sometimes the producer's curiosity is the engine of sometimes surprising "experiments"....

SONO was born from a project begun in 2006, first with the renunciation of the use, in the vineyard, of any synthetic fertilizer and "systemic" pesticides, and then continued in the cellar through surprising trials of vinification and refinement without no use of sulfur dioxide. After an initial phase of saturation of the must with oxygen (hyper-oxygenation), the cellar technology allows us to avoid any contact with oxygen in every part of the production process.

There are “female” rosés and “male” rosés. Here, this is a male rosé, which likes a cold cuts platter more than a fish cruditè. Only 'a few hours', maximum five, on the skins.

On the eve of the 2019 harvest we were on the verge of uprooting the last hectare of our splendid "della flame" Trebbiano vineyard in Petrignone: the commercial response and the market "mood" were too lukewarm (euphemism) towards this vine. But, "rather" than eradicating it, we wanted to make an extreme attempt, and put the maceration experiences acquired with Vitalba to good use and do something new: 25 days of maceration in concrete, a bit of good luck, and, voilà .
