Description
Coccio red wine in amphora is made from pure Sangiovese grapes selected by hand.To make it, the grapes are not crushed and destemmed but are placed whole bunches in egg-shaped terracotta amphora to allow the best possible fruity notes to be brought out. The punching-down is carried out regularly twice a day and the egg shape ensures constant movement of the lees.Fermentation is carried out with the grape's own indigenous yeasts to allow the soul of Sangiovese to be expressed to the full.Carbonic maceration on the skins lasts for 3 months, the wine is then refined in terracotta amphorae for a further 7 months.The resulting wine could be called, with a play on words, a sangiovese-sangiovese. Coccio is an atypical Sangiovese without interference from ageing in wood and the use of non-indigenous yeasts, which preserves intact all the identity of the raw material and fully expresses the terroir.

This passion is rooted in the indissoluble bond with the territory, understood as the product of the interaction of physical-geographical and cultural characteristics. Our vineyard, located in Sant'Ermete, a small hamlet of Santarcangelo di Romagna, literally has its roots sunk in history, i.e. it rises in an area where in Roman times, there was a great and important rustic plant where numerous amphorae were found that can be traced back to wine amphorae used for transport and trade in wine and therefore indicates an agricultural and in particular wine-growing vocation of this territory.
The choice to create 2 types of Spumante Rosé Brut (Ancestral Method and Classic Method) comes from the bond with the South of France where our parents moved and had the opportunity to know and appreciate this particular type of extremely convivial wine.
Fortified by the conviction that a good wine is born mainly in the vineyard, and by tradition, "I Piccoli Vignaioli" dedicate themselves with loving passion to the care of the vine, with total respect for nature. The harvest, which for us is seen as a moment of celebration, takes place manually, to choose only the best grapes, with the whole family contributing. Read more
