WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE?

1x Pratalia IGT Umbria Bianco 2025 — White · 12.5% · €15.00 per bottle
Pratalia takes its name from an 8th-century Veronese riddle that refers to sunny fields, exactly where the Vermentino of Cantina Santoiolo grows. The grapes are harvested at sunrise, immediately destemmed with dry ice and macerated on the skins for 24 hours at 8 degrees. Clear straw yellow in the glass with white flowers, green herbs and citrus. On the palate exceptionally fresh and juicy, almost salty in character, with a long almond-like finish. With fish, vegetables, exotic dishes or as an aperitif. Serve at 10-12°C.

1x Coscia di Ninfa IGT Umbria Rosato — Rosé · 12.5% · €15.00 per bottle
The name, literally 'nymph's thigh', refers to an 18th-century colour used by painters and to a historic rose variety that still grows in the estate's garden. Made from Alicante and Malbec, kept on the skins for just a few hours. Delicate pale pink in the glass. Roses, wild strawberries and pomegranate on the nose. Fresh and juicy on the palate, mineral in character. As an aperitif or with light pasta dishes, fish, white charcuterie and pizza. Serve at 12°C.

1x Rosso Fossile IGT Umbria Rosso 2020 — Red · 14% · €15.00 per bottle
The estate blend, named after the fossil seabed terroir. An assemblage of Syrah, Malbec and Alicante in a ratio that varies from year to year. Ruby red in the glass with flowers and crisp red fruit. On the palate lively, fresh and juicy, with a directness and drinkability that makes it suitable for any occasion. Taste it and discover what the fossil soil of Narni does with three completely different grape varieties. As an aperitif or throughout the meal. Serve at 15-16°C.

1x Syrah IGT Umbria Rosso 2022 — Red · 14% · €15.00 per bottle
Syrah feels at home on the mineral fossil seabed of Narni. Fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel and then in bottle, so the characteristics of the grape variety are preserved to the maximum. Intense ruby red in the glass. Red carnation, forest fruits and spices, complemented by sweet and peppery herbal notes. On the palate immediately pleasant, with present but not intrusive tannins. It gains through evolution in the bottle. With pasta and meat of medium structure. Serve at 16°C.

1x Alicante IGT Umbria Rosso 2021 — Red · 14.5% · €15.00 per bottle
Alicante is an ancient Spanish grape variety that crossed the Mediterranean over the centuries and found a new ideal home in Narni. The clay limestone soil full of fossil shells and the warm summers give the grape exactly the thermal stress it needs. Intense and brilliant ruby red in the glass with remarkable complexity of red fruit, balanced by alcohol and tannin. As an aperitif or with Italian cuisine and aged cheeses. Serve at 16°C.

1x Malbec IGT Umbria Rosso 2021 — Red · 14.5% · €15.00 per bottle
Malbec is famous in Argentina, but finds a surprisingly ideal new home in Narni. The clay soil full of marine sediment, the warm summers and the cool September mornings promote perfect phenolic ripening. Lively ruby red in the glass, almost violet. Floral on the nose, evolving towards red fruit and balsamic notes of laurel, eucalyptus and peppermint. On the palate complex yet fresh, with lively and elegant tannins. With pasta, meat, roasted vegetables or fish soups. Serve at 16°C.
