The Legacy and Evolution of Umani Ronchi

Umani Ronchi was founded by Gino Umani Ronchi  in the 1950s in Cupramontana, in the heart of the Verdicchio Classico production zone. Shortly afterwards the company was taken over by the Bianchi-Bernetti family who expanded operations and moved the headquarters to Osimo in the Rosso Conero wine-growing region of Marche. The Marche region of Italy is framed by glorious hills that meet the waters of the Adriatic Sea, with a favourable climate and soil and is a region than the producer Umani Ronchi really has made famous. It is situated about two thirds of the way up the east coast of Italy.

Massimo Bernetti’s son Michele joined the firm in the 1990s. He was instrumental in partnering up with Giacomo Tachis skilled winemaker, known for celebrated wines like the Solaia and Sassicaia, in the mid 1990s. In 2020 Umani Ronchi was ranked as of one of Wine Spectator’s 34 Best Wineries of Italy.

Umani Ronchi in Verdicchio Classico

Umani Ronchi owns 110 hectares in the Verdicchio Classico area, 60 hectares in the Rosso Conero, and 30 in Abruzzi. This part of Italy is framed by glorious hills that meet the waters of the Adriatic Sea. Umani Ronchi prides itself as the leading exponent of the two major wines of the Marche, Verdicchio and Rosso Conero, as well as being one of the principle producers of wines from the neighbouring Abruzzi region.

Umani Ronchi Casal di Serra Verdicchio Dei Castelli Di Jesi

Umani Ronchi Casal di Serra Verdicchio Dei Castelli Di Jesi was created in the 1980s by selecting the best grapes grown in the Montecarotto vineyard, and later enriched with grapes from another three plots situated in the most suitable areas for cultivating Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi. Ripeness is ensured by harvesting slightly later than usual, and yields are kept very low (80/90 hundredweight/hectare, less than half the usual for Verdicchio).

Winemaking

  • Hand Harvesting: Grapes are carefully hand-picked to ensure quality and optimal ripeness.
  • Vaslin Press: Grapes are processed using a Vaslin press for gentle and efficient juice extraction.
  • Cold Soak Process: A portion of the wine undergoes a cold soak to enhance the extraction of varietal characteristics.
  • Maturation in Stainless Steel: The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 5 months on the lees to preserve its fresh, vibrant flavours.
  • Bottle Aging: After tank maturation, the wine is bottle-aged for a few additional months before release to refine its profile.

Umani Ronchi Casal di Serra Verdicchio Dei Castelli Di Jesi is a vegetarian and vegan friendly wine.
