The vineyards sit at 250-300 meters above sea level on clay soils with a calcareous base, close to Lake Trasimeno. Vines on the 12-hectare property have never been treated with chemicals and are farmed organically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Danilo Marcucci uses spontaneous fermentation with just 3 days of skin contact, then ages the wine in stainless steel until bottling in spring. No fining, no filtration, and no added sulfites. The result is a wine that stays close to the fruit and the soil without technical intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCiliegiolo is named for the Italian word for cherry and brings soft tannins, juicy red fruit, and a slightly floral character to the blend. Sangiovese provides structure and a savory, earthy backbone. Together, the two grapes make a light-to-medium-bodied red that drinks well with a slight chill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanilo Marcucci relaunched winemaking at this historic estate in 2015, ending a gap that stretched back to 1956, when the family last produced wine on site. The estate had supplied grapes to the local co-op for nearly sixty years before Danilo, who married into the Conestabile della Staffa family, began vinifying on the property again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conestabile della Staffa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29339785494583,"sku":"DAMASPRO18C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/case-sparse-rosso-conestabile-marcucci-italy-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780687916","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/case-sparse-rosso-conestabile-marcucci-italy-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
