Ribalta Rosso Marche Pantaleone 2018
Ribalta is the interpretation of Federica and Nazzareno Pantaleoni of the historic vine belonging to the Grenache family.
Ribalta comes from a red grape variety that in the Piceno area is called Bordò, a distant clone of Grenache that in Italy changes its name depending on the place where it is grown. The best known are Granaccia in Liguria, Alicante in Tuscany, Cannonau in Sardinia, Gamay perugino del Trasimeno in Umbria. The vinification of the grapes is spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts in steel tanks. Ribalta ages for two years in barrique.
Pantaleone
Pantaleon is the moat that runs at the foot of the valley in Colonnata Alta, 5 km from Ascoli Piceno, known since the ancient times for the extreme vitality of the soil, able to donate full bodied products with great structure. It is predominantly frank clayey and has clay areas, sometimes pure, where organic substances are formed with great nutritional potential. The farm is a family run business on 50 hectares, of which 13 are grown with grapes at about 450m asl. The choice to be organic has been strongly desired since its origins, in order to respect the natural balance of the soil with the surrounding environment. Unique in its genre is the shape of the valley, which sees the vines as a small amphitheater. Exposure, height and position play an ideal role in creating the perfect thermal daytime and nighttime excursion to concentrate the aromas on the skins. Owned land is free to wildlife, which creates a blend of flora and fauna, away from the city, capable of generating healthy and genuine products. Balance, environment and territory are the soul of the Pantaleone winery.
