Montemelino Grechetto Umbria, 2023, 750ml

Description

Margret, with her husband Guido by her side, worked the land and made the wines for over 50 years, having only recently passed the torch to her daughter Sabina to carry the farm into the next generation. Today the farm has 8 hectares of vineyards, all worked organically, as they have been since Margret began.  They grow the native grapes of the tiny Colli del Trasimeno DOC, which include Grechetto, Malvasia and Trebbiano for the white wines and Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo and Gamay del Trasimeno (aka Grenache) for the red wines.

This wine is expression of the great potential of the Grechetto grape and the terroir of Lake Trasimeno. 100% Grechetto, direct press. Wild yeast fermentation. Aged in stainless steel until bottling. Minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining.
