Terroir Details

Sourced from vines located at an altitude of 300/450 meters above sea level and with north-south exposure, Casafranca benefits from a unique combination of terroir that is reflected in its distinctive nuances and aromas. The density of the vines, 4,500 per hectare, and the spurred cordon training system contribute to the superior quality of the harvest.

Vinification and Aging

With a controlled yield of 70 quintals per hectare, harvesting takes place in early October, with hand picking in crates. The three varieties are fermented separately for about 20 days at a controlled temperature below 25 °C. The aging process gives additional depth to the wine.

Casafranca Rosso Umbria Fendi reaches its full expression after 3 months in bottle.
