The name Villa Fidelia® comes from a 19th-century villa just 500 meters from the winery, part of the historical and cultural heritage of the town of Spello. The vineyards lie at an altitude between 300 and 400 meters above sea level. The mild climate in this area guarantees wines of high quality. These vineyards were planted around the year 2000.
Harvesting of these grapes begins as early as August. After harvest, the grapes are taken straight to the cellar and processed, with an initial rapid cooling using dry ice to 10°C and then pressed—everything to preserve their distinctive character. The wine is then kept for at least 4 months in 228-liter barriques. For perfect maturation, it is aged for at least 1 more year in bottle after bottling and only then released to market.
This wine has been made by the renowned winemaker Riccardo Cotarella since 1998. A very special collaboration with a winemaker who has earned his reputation at his Falesco winery in Montecchio near Terni in Umbria.
This straw-yellow wine with golden nuances offers aromas of honey, hazelnuts, butter and vanilla on the nose, with a delicate scent of pink grapefruit and exotic fruit. On the palate it is full and long-lasting, with a balsamic note.
