Terroir:

The vineyard that gives life to Cùmaro is located in the municipality of Osimo (AN), in the San Lorenzo district. Facing southeast on a hill rising about 150-200 meters above sea level, the soil is characterized by depth and a composition of clay-loam, occasionally sandy and calcareous, with a discreet presence of skeleton.

Yield per Hectare:

The yield, controlled through very short pruning and targeted thinning, varies depending on the seasons, ranging from 60 to 80 quintals per hectare.

Harvest:

The harvest is carried out manually, with the grapes collected and transported in crates. It usually takes place in October, when the Montepulciano grapes, a rather late-ripening variety, have reached an excellent and advanced degree of phenolic ripeness.

Winemaking:

After destemming and a light pressing, the grapes ferment at a controlled temperature of 27-29°C in stainless steel fermenters for 12-14 days, using indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Aging:

Riserva Cùmaro Umani Ronchi is aged in 225-liter oak barrels for a period of 12-14 months. After bottling, it continues to age in a temperature-controlled environment for about 6-8 months.

Tasting Notes:

Color: Deep ruby red, with garnet reflections.
Aroma: Intense bouquet with notes of ripe plum, blackcurrant, and sour cherry, on a spicy background of black pepper, vanilla, and tobacco.
Palate: Soft and enveloping on the palate, with well-polished tannins and a pleasant dry and elegant finish.

Pairing:
