Producer Raina

UMBRIA

Raina is Turri Montefalco, in the province of Pergugia, nestled in the beautiful hills of Umbria. The Raina name was the name of the farmer who cultivated the land before the arrival of Andrea Mattioli Francesco Mariani and the current owners. Two stories and two different paths those of Andrea and Francesco, the first holding a degree in oenology and the second with a history of major chefs in Italian restaurants. In 2001 Andrea and Fabrizio sensed the potential of the vineyards are located in all of Montefalco and decide to buy 10 hectares of vineyard with an old farmhouse annexe. The road is marked and in subsequent years new vineyards are planted but especially you decide to embrace the path of biodynamic cultivation, only copper is used, sulfur and infusions and decoctions of plants. In the future, look to Permaculture, sometimes the defense of life from disease and pests. The vineyards, 300 m.s.l.m. on limestone and gravel soils they are cultivated with native umbri; Raina Field, Colonel Field and The Pretelle are bred in Sagrantino, the Crescent Court in The Campette Sangiovese and Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Merlot and Trebbiano Spoletino. Raina's goal is to produce natural wines, respectful of terroir and personal, but mostly clean, intact and characterized by elegance and drinkability.
