Tiberi Vini Artigianali - Cesare, Piero & Federico Tiberi
We are in Montepetrolo, south of Lake Trasimeno and about twenty km from Perugia. The Tiberi farm was founded in the early 1900s and still today involves three generations, Cesare Tiberi, his son Piero and his nephew Federico. There are only 3 ha located on hills of 350 m asl, with 50-year-old vines (and in the case of the Granella grape, also called Pecorina, a plant of 150 years ago) and soils rich in skeleton. Four generations have alternated in the processing of the vineyards. Today, those methods of managing and processing the grapes in the cellar have remained unchanged as they were then. This has allowed us to pass on not only a respect for the land, but above all the varieties that that land have helped to enhance: Gamay del Perugino, Canaiolo, Grechetto, San Colombana, Moscato, Malvasia, Trebbiano, Ciliegiolo and Pecorina grapes. The gestures of the past remain in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentations, macerations on the skins to pass all the identity of a vintage and a territory to the must, management of the pomace cap with daily breaking, light pressing with a manual press and decanting following the lunar phases. While the world of wine has accelerated, here the rhythms and the sense of gestures have remained the same.
