Flaminia Maremmana. The name evokes paths that are older than Rome itself. Century after century, shepherds and their flocks travelled along an ancient branch of the Via Flaminia – the consular road that had linked Rome with the Adriatic since 220 BC – From the green Umbrian hills down into the Maremma, for the transumanza – that seasonal transhumance which shaped life in this landscape right up until the 20th century. Here, where sheep and shepherds once rested, where history is etched into the earth, the vines for this special Montefalco Rosso now grow. First produced in 2007, it embodies the soul of this historic terroir. The cuvée, comprising seventy% Sangiovese, fifteen% Sagrantino and fifteen% Canaiolo, thrives on south-east-facing limestone-loam soils.

Bright ruby red. Aromas of Amarena cherries, red wild berries, dark flowers, subtle herbal notes and pepper. On the palate, it is enveloping, full-bodied and elegant thanks to its fine-grained tannins. Medium-bodied, with a spicy finish. A wine that tells a story – spanning from antiquity to the present day, from Umbria to the Maremma. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberry fruit, black cherries and black nuts, an invigorating bouquet with a spicy freshness. On the palate, it is juicy and well-balanced, with dense, fine-grained tannins, a smooth fruitiness and good drinkability. The elegant use of oak is perfectly integrated, a compelling 'modern' Rosso made from 70% Sangiovese, 15% Sagrantino and 15% Canaiolo." Weinwisser
