The Umbrian winery Collecapretta presents the Sangiovese ‘Le Cese’, an artisanal red wine with remarkable depth and expressive purity. Sangiovese holds the title of the most widespread grape variety in Italy, surely due to its great adaptability to different pedoclimatic conditions as well as the noble organoleptic qualities of the wines that derive from it. It seems that the name of this ancient variety comes from the appellation “Sangue di Giove”, as it was known already in Etruscan times. Today, Sangiovese, widely cultivated in Toscana, Marche, Umbria, and Romagna, can be distinguished into numerous clones originating from the multitude of territories where this grape has been traditionally grown.
‘Le Cese’ Collecapretta Sangiovese is an expression of the homonymous variety in purity from vines cultivated in a truly sustainable manner on clayey-limestone soils, at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level. Following the manual harvest, the bunches are fermented in glass-cement tanks for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins. After the racking, the mass continues to mature in glass-cement tanks for 8 months until bottling, which occurs without any addition of sulfites.
