Verdicchio Classico Riserva 'Plenio' Umani Ronchi 2009

The Verdicchio Riserva "Plenio" by Umani Ronchi is undoubtedly the flagship of the winery Marche, a wine of exceptional consistency that stands out for its elegance and its refinement. In a setting of lush green hills that skirt the landscape to dive in the beautiful Adriatic Sea, the vine thrives millennia. The Marche is a region with a strong wine vocation, as evidenced by the success and importance of Umani Ronchi cellar. The Verdicchio Riserva "Plenio" born in the vineyard Torre, in the territory of Cupramontana, considered as the capital of Verdicchio; exposure to the east, altitude of 250-350 meters above sea level and vines over 20 years are critical to the success of the "Plenio" by Umani Ronchi, a Verdicchio Riserva which is harvested by hand in the first half of October to be fermented by 60% in stainless steel tanks for 10-15 days and 40% in oak barrels. The aging lasts 12 months and the wine, in the same containers used for fermentation, remains in contact with its lees. The name "Plenio" comes from the Latin plenum and suggests the characteristics of fullness, complexity and structure. It’s a white wine that can be appreciated because of these characteristics that combined with the unmistakable aromas of vanilla, ripe fruit and herbs, make this Verdicchio a rare example of elegance and refinement.
