Region: Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC, Italy

Composition: 100% Montepulciano

History: The story began with Gino Umani Ronchi in Cupramontana, the heart of Verdicchio Classico, more than half a century ago. Today, the Umani Ronchi wine estate is owned by the Bianchi-Bernetti family, which since 1959 has been making excellent quality artisan wines, sourcing the best from Verdicchio and Montepulciano, two varieties that find their best expression in Marche and Abruzzo. The winery is managed by Michele Bernetti, who combines his leadership and technical role with the development of the international market. At his side, his father Massimo Bernetti serves as president of Umani Ronchi. Umani Ronchi is driven by a strong sense of ethics and respect for the environment, lavishing attention to the territory and biodiversity, and each choice reflects a sustainable way of thinking and acting. All the vineyards, from Verdicchio to Montepulciano, are grown organically.

Tasting Notes:

“Aromas of crushed menthol herbs, blackberry and black pepper rise up and are pure on the nose. This light-bodied Montepulciano offers a succulent core of cherry and blackberry flavors on the palate, all framed by fine yet supportive tannins. It’s a great everyday red that would be a welcome addition to the table.” – Wine Enthusiast
