Description
It is created in the highest part of the Villa Bianchi estate where, thanks to the extraordinary climatic conditions determined by the alternation of high humidity and drier ventilation at fairly low temperatures, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes are attacked by Botrytis Cinerea mould in its noblest form, giving this wine incredibly complex and rare flavours and aromas. Maximo is a unique wine in the Marche region wine scene.

Since the 1990s, Massimo Bernetti has been flanked by his son Michele (in the photo) in the Company's management. After creating wines appreciated worldwide, renovating the vineyards and restructuring the large winery in Osimo, Massimo still needs to be satisfied and stubbornly maintains the imperative of a high-quality product. As a result, it is a matter of agronomic experimentation, vineyard care and adopting the most advanced cultivation and vinification techniques.
In recent years, the increased interest in wines produced in the neighbouring region of Abruzzo has prompted Umani Ronchi SpA to purchase, in 2002, a 30-hectare estate in the Colline Teramane, a sub-region dedicated to the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, which has been awarded the prestigious DOCG status. Here, in the evocative farmhouse that dominates the estate, full of vineyards, a vinification cellar will be built in addition to the existing ageing cellar.
Currently, the Company's vineyard property includes a total area of 210 hectares spread over 12 distinct plots with unique characteristics, respecting and enhancing the terroir and native grape varieties of Marche and Abruzzo. In addition, there is sufficient research into some of the most representative international grape varieties, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, for the creation of innovative wines to be compared with the world's most excellent
The most resounding result of so much passion is the Pèlago vintage 1994, winner of the prestigious International Wine Challege in London in 1997 and included by Wine Enthusiast magazine in its list of the top one hundred wines of the year 1998 with the very high score of 97/100.
Umani Ronchi S.p.A. has achieved great results and can boast of authoritative recognitions won above all with its products of excellence but also with more widely consumed wines. Read more
