Italy - Marche - Umani Ronchi

The unique and recognizable style of Umani Ronchi wines comes from the Marche region, framed by glorious hills that meet the waters of the Adriatic Sea.

For many centuries the vine has flourished in this environment, favoured by long hours of sunshine followed by cool nights, and sea breezes that mitigate the colder winter months.

Indeed this region is well suited for viticulture: Marches have in themselves the environment for a prestigious viticulture, and Umani Ronchi has profited from their treasures: clavey soils of medium density for white wines, loose and calcareous for red wines.

With such a favourable climate and soil, the remaining factor that generates success is: our passion. Since the beginning they have pursued the principal aim of the highest quality production, and in more than 30 years they have refined this art.

Careful selection of the grapes on the plant, very low yields per hectare, continuous experimentations on the vineyard and in the cellar, strict laboratory controls.
All that, and more, contribute to the unique style of the wines.

2008, Villa Bianchi, Verdicchio Classico.
