Light golden yellow. Apricots, cedar zest, tropical fruit, hints of spice. Round, deep, fresh, slightly tannic.

Anteprima Tonda can be called an orange wine because of the long maceration on the skins in ceramic containers to which the grapes are subjected. Trebbiano Spoletino was already known in the 1800s, but only in the last decade has it become more famous. This popularity is also due to the production of monovarietal wine at the beginning of the 21st century, and that no one had ever done before, thanks to a careful selection of the variables of this grape variety. Trebbiano Spoletino has medium-width leaves with a downy undersurface, clusters are medium-sized, very compact, cylindrical in shape and with medium, round berries, and is very resistant to mold but is more susceptible to powdery mildew.

The name comes from the locality Murello in San Gemini. The 3- to 5-year-old vineyards are planted on a 230-above-sea-level clayey-calcareous soil. Harvested by hand, the grapes are spontaneously fermented for 20 days in French oak barrels, aged on the fine lees for 6 months and then bottled where the wine remains for another 6-8 months.

Montefalco Sagrantino is produced in a restricted area in the province of Perugia in the municipality of Montefalco. The soils are hilly and the grapes are grown between 220 and 472 meters above sea level with varying exposures that create a variety of microclimates and growing conditions. Pliny the Elder speaks of a very fine wine made from grapes from the Montefalco area. Sagrantino grapes are thought to have been introduced to the area in the 14th-15th centuries by Franciscan friars from Asia Minor, and the oldest mention of this grape dates back to 1549. Sagrantino Passito was once exclusively produced and used for great occasions, although it has a high quality it never had a market until recent times. The harvested grapes are dried in the air for about two months before being destemmed and vinified in steel with subsequent aging in oak barrels.

Sagrantino has uncertain origins, but it is thought to have come from Greece, arriving in Italy with Byzantine monks. Traces of cultivation dating back to the Middle Ages can be found in the lands near the town of Montefalco. In the past it was mainly used during religious services, the reason for the name of this intense wine with great aging capacity.

The geographical area in which the wine with the designation Orvieto Classico is produced is located in the southwestern part of Umbria, As early as the 10th century B.C. there was wine production, started by the Etruscans after they conquered the cliff where they founded ancient Velzna, today's Orvieto. Intuiting how to exploit the tufa rock, the Etruscans developed a "three-story" system of winemaking-the grapes were crushed at ground level, transferred through earthenware pipes to the floor below where fermentation took place, after racking the wine was transferred to a further floor below where it was left to age for a long time. This process allowed for a quality and amiable wine, especially compared to other wines of the time. Calcaia is produced by leaving the grapes on the vine where during the fall fog allows Botrytis Cinerea to develop, the harvested grapes are fermented slowly and naturally.

Aging takes place in the same containers and lasts 7 months in which malolactic fermentation also takes place. The bottled wine is not filtered and rests for another 6 months.

"Luigi e Giovanna" is the modern and innovative interpretation of Orvieto Classico. Produced with a careful selection of each bunch of grapes from the vineyards planted on ancient soils of volcanic origin on south-facing hills. The proximity to Lake Corbara allows for a very special microclimate, with significant temperature swings between day and night, and fog in the autumn period that allows Botrytis Cinerea to develop on the grapes.

Cornetta takes its name from the berries that when not yet ripe are horn-shaped. It is also called Vernaccia Nera, but it has nothing to do with Vernaccia vines, which according to producer Di Filippo, the name comes from the fact that the grapes were left to air-dry during the winter (vernum in Latin). Cornetta grows only in the Cannara area, has a conical cluster and oval berries, very sensitive to powdery mildew and is more resistant to botrytis. It is very vigorous, and during the spring and summer excess leaves are cut and green berries are harvested to ensure optimal ripening of the grapes.

Verdello takes its name from the green color of its berries; it is thought to have been brought to Umbria in the early 20th century by Hungarian monks traveling to the monastery of Sant'Urbano, near the La Palazzola estate. Some researchers have speculated, but not yet proven, that Verdello is related to Portuguese Verdelho. There are many possible variants or biotypes of Verdello in Italy, but according to DNA analyses, this grape variety is identical to Verdicchio and Verduschia.

The vineyards are located at an altitude ranging from 50 to 400 m above sea level at varying gradients in the southwestern part of Umbria. Vineyards have been present in this area since ancient times; Virgil describes in the Georgics how the people used to tie the vine shoots with willows. The grapes are dried on trellises, after which they are vinified and aged in drained and sealed oak barrels for 48 months.
