Umani Ronchi Vellodoro Pecorino Terre di Chieti 2024

From Umani Ronchi, Vellodoro Pecorino Terre di Chieti 2024 is a white wine made with grapes sourced predominantly from the Roseto degli Abruzzi estate, alongside fruit from partner growers in the northern part of Chieti. The vineyards sit on a mix of sand and clay soils, with a climate characterised by a wide thermal range. Harvesting is carried out by hand, supporting careful selection in the vineyard.

In the winery, the grapes are gently pressed and rapidly cooled before a period of static settling. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 16–18°C over ten to fifteen days, with no malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for four months on its lees in stainless steel tanks before bottling, a process that keeps the winemaking approach precise and consistent from fermentation through to maturation.
