Centovie 2023 is made from 100% Pecorino at Umani Ronchi's Roseto degli Abruzzi estate, between the Gran Sasso and the Adriatic coast. The organically grown grapes come from vineyards on deep clay-loam soils with an important sandy component and gravel.

Steel fermentation, concrete ageing

After gentle pressing, the free-run must is cooled and statically settled. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at 16-18 °C for around 20 days, without malolactic fermentation. The wine then matures for 12 months in concrete followed by a further 5 months in bottle before release.

In the glass

The aromatic profile shows citrus, white-fleshed fruit, wild flowers and aromatic herbs, with light spicy nuances. The palate is fresh, persistent and distinctly savoury, with a pronounced mineral character.

At the table

Serve at 12-14 °C. It pairs well with stuffed pasta, roast white meats and roasted fish.
