Madrevite: Undiscovered varieties form Umbria, the green heart of Italy
- This event has passed.
Near the border between Umbria and Tuscany, Madrevite is nestled amid the hills that embrace the Umbrian Lake Trasimeno and the Tuscan Lake Chiusi, within the “Colli del Trasimeno” DOC zone, an area of great charm, with scenic views and luxuriant nature, close to the beautiful Cortona village.
The conformation of the land creates a unique microclimate that guarantees optimal conditions for viticulture. The winters are mild, the summers are warm and breezy, and the temperature variations between day and night ensure freshness and longevity for the wines. The clayey soils impart richness and length.
Madrevite was founded in 2003 when Nicola Chiucchiurlotto began restoring his family farm and decided to replant part of his grandfather Zino’s old vineyards, which date back to 1978.
With 11 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of 35.000 bottles, Nicola is now focusing on red varieties like Gamay del Trasimeno, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, and Syrah; and white ones like Trebbiano Spoletino and Grechetto.
