In 2015 Luca planted a tiny plot with Trebbiano Spoletino, it is outside the
Spoletino appellation so must defer to ‘Umbria Trebbiano’. The vineyard has a
north-east exposure on chalk-rich clays and has been planted at a density of
6500 vines per hectare, Guyot trained, giving just over a kilo of fruit per
vine.
The grapes are hand-picked at the end of September, gently destemmed, pressed
and allowed to soak for a day before being decanted into 320 litre amphoras to
ferment (wild yeasts used) and age for 12 months. The wine is lightly filtered
before bottling.
