About the Producer:
Located in the Ascoli Piceno province of the Marche, Ercole Velenosi is a dynamic young estate producing some of the bestwines in the area. The vineyards are hillside on clay soil with excellent exposure. Grapes are hand harvested and then pressed using a special press that manages to be extremely delicate so as not to damage the taste and color of the must. Their respect for tradition is apparent in the vineyard management and winemaking techniques. Our wine-making plant is surrounded by vines which form a natural screen around it. The vines, growing on a clayey soil a moderately steep slop, enjoy an excellent exposure. Tradition teaches us how important it is for the vintage to take place within in a certain deadline: sometimes, only a few days can be taken into consideration for a successful vintage. Temperature-controlled winemaking. The respect for tradition is also evident in the different periods of vine—growth and wine-ageing without forcing and radically chancing the procedures. We know the right time required by each wine, which therefore leaves the cellar only when mature.
