Collecapretta

History For three generations the Mattioli family has been involved in agriculture and in particular wine has always played an important working aspect by virtue of its original food function. The company has been bottling for about 5 years, but also paying particular attention to bulk, which represents an important part of the business economy and clearly demonstrates the concept of quality spread across the entire range. The vineyards The choice of varieties was dictated by historical tradition, a sort of photograph of what was already planted before the Second World War. Therefore, in addition to local vines such as the native Trebbiano typical of southern Umbria (60-year-old vineyard) and Sangiovese (which covers most of the vineyard) there are varieties that can be defined traditional according to the age of the plants that goes over 40 years and are Barbera, Merlot and Greco. Respect for the cycles of nature and the total absence of herbicides, pesticides and weeding, have placed the company in the sphere of natural wine for unsuspected times. In the basement Spontaneous fermentations are carried out at free temperatures and no sulfur is added in bottling. The containers are made of concrete glass, resin glass and steel…. large wood is still being tested. Only decanting is carried out according to the lunar cycle and we rely on the rigors of winter to make the wines clear.
