Umbria too has many different dessert wines. The Villa Fidelia® is a sweet version made from 100% Grechetto. The vineyards lie at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level, enjoy a mild climate and were planted in 1999. The soil contains a lot of limestone, which comes from the erosion of Monte Subasio. The mild climate of this area guarantees good-quality grapes.
The vineyards for this Passito lie at an altitude of 300 metres above sea level, belong to the Assisi DOC wine area and were planted in 1999. The harvest begins in mid-September with almost over-ripe grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are laid out on trays and dried at a controlled temperature for 2 months. The grapes are then pressed and afterwards rested for 6 hours at 4 °C. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The final maturation takes place over 2 years in barrique.
With an intense yellow colour and golden reflections, this wine has notes of honey, vanilla and sweet fruits on the nose. On the palate it is decisive with some minerality and a lovely sweetness — a typical Grechetto!
