Description
Il Coccio red wine in amphora is made from pure Sangiovese grapes selected by hand. To obtain it the grapes are not crushed or destemmed but are placed whole bunches in egg-shaped terracotta amphora to best enhance the fruity notes. Punching down is done regularly twice a day and the egg shape ensures constant movement of the lees. Fermentation is carried out with the grape's indigenous yeasts to best express the soul of Sangiovese. Carbonic maceration on the skins lasts 3 months, the wine is then aged in terracotta amphora for a subsequent 7 months. The resulting wine could be defined, with a play on words, as a Sangiovese-Sangiovese. Il Coccio is an atypical Sangiovese without the interference of wood aging and the use of non-indigenous yeasts, which preserves the entire identity of the raw material intact 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
