Description

For forty years now, the Zanchi family has been crafting high-quality wine in Amelia, in the Umbria region, within a strikingly-beautiful complex of hills that are crowned by the ancient estate residence and the wine-making facility. The surface of the estate is totally dedicated to vineyards and olive groves, all cultivated in accord with the principles of sustainable agriculture, which mandate low environmental-impact practices, and full respect for nature and for the specific local growing area. Three generations now of the family have dedicated themselves to continuous research into the local area, identifying the most-suitable clones of the indigenous local grape varieties and those classic to Umbria, and producing from them wines that are distinctive for their flavours, aromas, and body. The Zanchi family has always considered the vineyard as a treasure that must be stewarded and respected, and therefore they have always cultivated their 30 hectares of vines in accord with the principles of sustainable viticulture, which means utilising practices having low impact on the environment and respecting nature and the local growing area.
