LIQUIDO, CONESTABILE DELLA STAFFA

Conestabile Della Staffa Winery are on the outskirts of Montemelino in Umbria. Not far from the vineyards, which is located for over twelve hectares, is Lake Trasimeno, which has a great influence on the climate and on the grapes. The estate dates back to the nineteenth century, but the first vintage as enologist director for Danilo Marcucci is 2015. The vineyards are located at 250-300 meters above sea level on clayey soils with a calcareous base. Here Sangiovese, Colorino, Sagrantino, Gamay del Trasimeno, Canaiolo, Trebbiano Dorato, Montanaro Trebbiano, Grechetto and Malvasia are cultivated. Spontaneous fermentations in the cellar no technology or intervention, where the wines do not undergo invasive filtrations. In the early years, the few chemicals left in the fields are being used in error by biodynamic methods.  

A blend of 3 different vintages of Sangiovese (2018, 2019, 2020) from a single parcel. Spontaneous fermentation without temperature control. Aged in fiberglass. No filtering or fining. Danilo says “A summation of three very different growing seasons, to express at the same time both youthfulness and maturity”.

Medium bodied and textured. Delicate stewed cherry with tannins that seem to ascend on the finish. This is a unique wine that we were lucky enough to get our hands on. We defy you not to enjoy it.
