Our Oenologist

Maurilio Chioccia is one of the most famous winemakers in Italy and the luminary of our region on the matter of wine. He has been working for years at the Villa Bucher winery and is responsible for the present taste and intensity of the wines. „The uniqueness of volcanic soils is crucial in characterizing our wines. The presence of volcanic formations in San Venanzo, along with active volcanic vents, contributes to the distinctiveness of our vineyards. These volcanic soils impart a noticeable and persistent acidity to our white and red wines, enhancing their longevity and ability to age gracefully. On the palate, the wines stand out with the distinct flavours imparted by these volcanic soils.”

ROSSO UMBRIA IGT
vol. 14%

GRAPE VARIETY
100% Cabernet Sauvignon

VINIFICATION
Steel

TASTE

A wine passionately obtained from hand-picked Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It introduces itself with an impenetrably dense, intense red colouring and has a minty balsamic spicy bouquet in which a plumb and berry taste dominates all other red fruits and completes its olfactive profile. It is dense and harmonious to the palate, which it caresses with persuasive tannins and a long-lasting, elegant, fruity smoothness

Serve at 16°C in combination with pasta dishes, white and red meats or roasts.

ROSADO UMBRIA IGT
vol. 13,5%

GRAPE VARIETY
100% Cabernet Franc

VINIFICATION
Steel

TASTE
The rosé wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes. The vines are grown on the volcanic soil of San Venanzo and are processed with passion as well as by hand. The Rosado has a delicate but bright pink colour as it is separated directly from the skins. The fermentation takes place at 12°. On the nose, there are fruity aromas of cherry, blueberry and violet, with undertones of citrus. The palate is harmonious, pleasantly fresh and mineral, with a slight tannic presence, but soft and lightly structured. Very pleasant to drink.

Serve at 8-10° as an aperitif, with fish, white meat and fresh cheese, with first courses.
