2022 Umani Ronchi Rosso Conero San Lorenzo

This story began more than half a century ago in Cupramontana, in the heart of Verdicchio Classico. Today, the Umani Ronchi winery is owned by the Bianchi-Bernetti family. Three wine zones - Castelli di Jesi, Conero and Abruzzo - and numerous vineyards are spread across 10 districts. A total of 210 hectares are planted with Verdicchio and Montepulciano, which are best expressed in Marche and Abruzzo. The 185 km of vines are nestled between the hills and the Adriatic coast, each with its own unique characteristics and terroir. Umani Ronchi has doubled its estate and replanted 85% of its old vines since the 1970s. They have invested in Verdicchio and Rosso Conero and have reinstated the Pecorino and Lacrima di Morro d'Alba varieties. Their vineyards are also all farmed organically. This is more of a technical decision than an ideological one. The vines flourish in such a way that there is room for viticulture that gets the best out of the grapes without compromising the quality of the wines.

The Umani Ronchi San Lorenzo is a 100% Montepulciano. The vines are planted on a soil of limestone and clay. The grapes come from two different vineyards, both owned by Umani Ronchi and located in Ancona and Osima. The planting density in the vineyards is 2200 to 5680 vines per hectare. The grapes are picked manually from the end of September to mid-October.

First, there is a skin maceration for about 12 days in stainless steel vats and then the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, followed by a wood maturation of 12 months, of which 50% of the wine matures in barriques and the rest in large oak barrels of 5000-8000 liters. After the blend has been composed from the 2 different maturations, the wine rests in the bottle for another 6 months. In the glass, the San Lorenzo has a beautiful fresh garnet red color. The nose smells sweet and fruity, with mainly dominant notes of morello cherries. The attack is rich, juicy, tasty and pleasant with velvety tannins. A long finish, which is mainly fruity.

The San Lorenzo Montepulciano goes well with hearty pasta dishes, game, stews, rich cheeses, but also roasted white meat and grilled dishes. The wine is also excellent with a nice Pizza.
