The old district gives its name to our white Vitalbero,
Grapes have always been grown here and the grapes grew in symbiosis with the field maple trees.
Where the vines have always thrived we have replanted our vineyard, a very dense plant with 5,500 plants per hectare, here the vine must earn its place. the yield is very low. but the quality of the grapes is high.
Pecorino is the main grape variety of this vineyard, together with the Tuscan Trebbiano they give rise to our Vitalbero blend.

ORIGIN
Pecorino is an indigenous grape variety from the Marche region white berry, it has ancient Greek origins and has always been cultivated in the Sibillini Mountains. From there it then spread southwards, reaching as far as Abruzzo. Thanks to its organoleptic characteristics it produces excellent quality wines.
Trebbiano is a very vigorous vine, probably originating from the eastern Mediterranean basin, it spread first in Italy and later in France.
VINTAGE
After a relatively mild winter, we had a spring with good rainfall. From June onwards, however, the climate was dry and hot. Flowering was normal, and the summer passed with a hot and dry climate, with sufficient rainfall for correct maturation. The harvest was brought forward to mid-August to maintain good acidity, then partially smoothed in the wood.
TASTING SENSATIONS
– intense straw yellow with light green reflections
– complex fruit with hints of Williams pear, white peach and pink grapefruit.
– savory, spicy, elegant and mineral.
RECOMMENDED COMBINATIONS
It goes perfectly with soft cheeses, fish and white meats.
Excellent as an aperitif wine.
WINEMAKING
Light pressing of the whole grapes, fermentation at a controlled temperature at 14 degrees in steel vats, maturation for 18 months, on the fine lees with continuous bâtonnage in Austrian oak barrels.
VINEYARD
Hilly vineyard is located in Sant’ Elpidio Morico. It faces south at 367 m above sea level, very sunny and with a large temperature range during the ripening period, we are in a gully between the sea and the mountain, this means that it is always ventilated, especially in the early morning, drying the plants from night-time humidity, thus allowing us to reduce biological treatments to a minimum. Soil composition, clayey/sandy.
