Blasi Cantina
Cantina Umbertide PG
The company
Umbertide, like the whole of Umbria, has an ancient tradition of wine-growing (the Etruscans inhabited this territory and, as wherever they lived, wine-growing was one of the pivotal activities of their society), yet there is no real historicity with respect to the use of indigenous grape varieties other than the best known in Umbria.This is why the Blasi family has decided to plant some native Umbrian vines of established quality such as Trebbiano Spoletino, Grechetto and Sangrantino, but also to focus on the international vines best suited to the microclimate and soils of their company: from Merlot to Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, from Chardonnay to Sauvignon blanc. The choice is one of quality without stereotypes, which today wants a viticulture that necessarily goes in search of native grape varieties, whether they are excellent or insignificant.

Productive process

Vinification

Every year, the grapes are harvested, taking into account all the chemical and tasting parameters of the berries in order to bring the grapes to the cellar at their best moment. Here, soft presses and stainless steel tanks are the important tools for vinification. The tanks are thermo-conditioned and variable in size because all the grapes are harvested and vinified separately.

Cooperage

In the various rooms of the old cellar located in the basement of Palazzo Bertanzi are French oak barrels of varying sizes from 35 to 50 Hl. Some barriques are used for partial ageing of the 'Impronta' wine, others for ageing of the 'Mammamia' raisin wine, which rests there for 10 years before reaching the desired quality.

Further information

A temperature-controlled warehouse is used for bottle ageing, which, depending on the wine, can range from a minimum of 3 months up to 12 for the most important reds and passito.
