Made in the Marche Region
A perfect combination of the extraordinary fertility of the soil and ideal weather conditions characterized by a Mediterranean climate, originate important wines which recall a territory rich of traditions and history. The continuing Simone Capecci’s commitment aims to preserve the peculiarities, the scents, colors and flavors inherited from his land, in which Simone continues today a continuous enhancement of the wines from the Piceno tradition, with a constant attention to organic farming, research and innovation, in order to improve and enhance traditional and indigenous varieties such as Pecorino, Passerina, Sangiovese and Montepulciano.
Specially for the Pecorino grape, which was close to extinction, in 1990, the Capecci family, in collaboration with the ASSAM, Agricoltural Agency of the Marche Region, gave birth to the first trial of the Pecorino variety in Italy on their land, in the municipality of Ripatransone, replanting scions of historical vines.
The trial lasted 4 years, during which we have seen very positive results both from an agronomic point of view and in relation to the vinification managed at the Experimental Winery of Camerano. It ended with great success, so much to convince both ASSAM and the Capecci family of the real potential of this variety, opening the way for concrete investment possibilities. The company has thus started to use that variety to make wine on its own: the current wine heritage derives entirely from the original experimental vines.
