Flaminia Maremmana. The name tells of paths that are older than Rome itself. Along an ancient branch of the Via Flaminia, the consular road that connected Rome with the Adriatic Sea from 220 BC, shepherds travelled with their flocks century after century: From the green Umbrian hills down to the Maremma, to the Transumanza, the seasonal transhumance that characterised the life of this landscape until the 20th century. Here, where sheep and shepherds once rested, where history is inscribed in the earth, the vines for this special Montefalco Rosso grow today. First vinified in 2007, it carries the soul of this historic terroir. The cuvée of seventy per cent Sangiovese, fifteen per cent Sagrantino and fifteen per cent Canaiolo thrives on south-east-facing limestone-clay soils.

Bright ruby red colour. Aroma of Amarena cherries, red forest berries, dark flowers, fine herbal notes and pepper. Enveloping on the palate, full-bodied, elegant thanks to fine-grained tannins. Medium structure, spicy finish. A wine that tells a story – between antiquity and the present, between Umbria and the Maremma. SUPERIORE.DE
