The name Villa Fidelia® comes from a 19th-century villa located just 500 meters from the winery, which is part of the Historical and Cultural Heritage of the city of Spello. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level. The mild climate in this area guarantees high-quality wines. These vineyards were planted around the year 2000.
The harvest takes place in September and, depending on temperatures and grape ripeness, may start a little later, resulting in higher acidity and better aromas in the grapes. After the harvest, the first fermentation takes place for 15 days in steel tanks under controlled temperature.
After this period, the wine is aged in 228-liter barriques for 12 months. Following bottling, this wine is aged for another 24 months in the bottle before being marketed.
This wine has been crafted by the renowned winemaker Riccardo Cotarella since 1998. A very special collaboration with a winemaker who has earned his merits at his Falesco winery in Montecchio, near Terni in Umbria.
The color of this wine is an intense red with complex notes of blackberry jam, tobacco, herbs, licorice, and chocolate on the nose. On the palate, the wine is elegant with well-balanced, creamy tannins that pave the way for a long and full finish.
