Descrizione

Pecorino is a white grape variety widespread in central Italy, loved for its ability to offer a variety of unique nuances.

The grapes are harvested manually, carefully selected and stored in cold storage for 5-10 days before being taken to the cellar for the fermentation process. After fermentation, the must is left to mature in steel containers for 2-3 months, subjected to delicate movements of the lees before bottling.

The wine has a brilliant straw yellow color, with light greenish nuances. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of green apple, medlar, cedar, lily of the valley and light floral notes. The taste is intense and citrusy, but delicate, with an excellent salt balance that leads to a satisfying finish.

It is perfect for an aperitif and goes well with fish dishes and white meat-based main courses.

Winery history

The estate traces its origins to Raffaele Vagnoni’s purchase of a property in the locality "le caniette" in 1897. Over the course of the twentieth century the family gradually expanded the holdings and, from the 1940s to the 1960s, converted much of the land to vineyards: a multi-generational story that has taken the winery from mixed farming to a focus on winemaking and the sale of its wines.

Production philosophy

The winery declares an approach based on harmony with the environment, prioritizing organic soil cultivation and management that seeks a balance between tradition, technical expertise and respect for the land.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Ripatransone, the winery farms hillside vineyards influenced both by sea air and by cooler inland breezes. The area is characterized by a strong food-and-wine tradition and the rolling hills typical of southern Marche.

Awards and recognitions

Numerous accolades for several labels: among them, Morellone has repeatedly received 'Tre Bicchieri' mentions and awards at national and international competitions; labels such as Cinabro and Nero di Vite have also been honored in guides and competitions.
