Description
The "Semonte" three-bottle case from Cantina Semonte contains three iconic wines: the Metodo Classico "Battista", the Cordaro and the Chardonnay.
Battista, created from a careful selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes and dedicated to Battista, the beloved wife of Federico da Montefeltro, is the result of rigorous winemaking protocols and a long period of ageing on the lees. It shows a bright straw yellow colour, a fine and persistent mousse, and a fresh bouquet with fruity notes of apple, white flowers and yeast fragrances.
Cordaro, produced with Dolcetto grapes, tells the curious story of Lucigno and the link between the Langhe and Upper Umbria. After ageing for 24 months in barriques and 24 months in the bottle, it offers floral aromas, red fruits, vanilla and spices. On the palate it is dry, warm and smooth.
Chardonnay, from vineyards at 500 metres above sea level, expresses balance and harmony. With a delicate, fruity aroma and elegant taste, it is the perfect accompaniment to fish dishes, vegetables, white truffles and red meats.

"Cordaro" Semonte
Description
Cordaro is made from Dolcetto grapes, a grape variety typical of Piedmont, especially the Langhe. Here is the curious story that led the Semonte winery to plant Dolcetto vines in the Umbrian area, with the current aim of rediscovering a balanced and complete wine, with an elegant taste and a certain "stuffiness". Its origins date back to the second half of the 19th century, when a wave of winemaking revolution, inspired by the ideal of Italian unification, swept through the lands of Gubbio, bringing with it a history of transformation led by an unsuspecting young farmer, Lucigno. His talent did not go unnoticed by the factor of the Abbey of Alfìolo, a Piedmontese who saw in this strip of Upper Umbria a potential similar to that of his beloved Langhe, the home of Nebbiolo. So Lucigno was brought to Piedmont to learn the ancient art of pruning and winemaking from a family of Langhe farmers. His apprenticeship was not just for himself and his estate, but for the whole community. The vineyard is situated between 400 and 550 metres above sea level, with a southern exposure and a continental climate, with hot summers and optimal temperature ranges, cold and snowy winters and rainfall spread throughout the year. The soils are loose, medium-textured and rich in limestone and iron. The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts and a maceration period of about 10 days. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, followed by a further 24 months in bottle. The result is a wine with floral aromas, hints of red fruit, vanilla and spices, thanks to the terroir to which it belongs, while on the palate it is dry, warm and quite smooth, offering a sensory journey through the history and passion of an ancient territory such as Upper Umbria. This wine is ideal with hors d'oeuvres, cold cuts and cheeses, first courses with white truffles, pasta with meat sauce and red meats.Read More

Spumante Brut Metodo Classico "Battista" Semonte
Description
Azienda Agraria Semonte's Metodo Classico 'Battista' is the result of a careful selection of Chardonnay grapes blended with Pinot Noir, giving it body, complexity and remarkable longevity. This sparkling wine, dedicated to Battista, the beloved wife of Federico da Montefeltro, a great figure of the Renaissance, is characterised by rigorous vinification protocols and a long stay on the lees, giving it a character suitable for all occasions. The vineyards are cultivated using the Guyot training system, with a planting density of 6,300 vines per hectare. Situated between 650 and 800 metres above sea level and exposed to the south and west, the vines benefit from a medium-textured calcareous soil, rich in skeleton, and large temperature variations between day and night, which give the wine excellent acidity. The yield is between 50 and 60 quintals per hectare. The harvest takes place in the first ten days of August for the Chardonnay and in the last ten days for the Pinot Noir, which ripens later. Vinification begins with soft pressing of the grapes, followed by decantation into cement or stainless steel tanks. After 24 hours of clarification by decanting, the must is inoculated with selected yeasts in wood or cement vats. Maturation takes place on the fine lees for 6 months, after which the wine is drawn off into stainless steel tanks. The wine remains in the bottle with its own yeasts for at least 20 months. The 'Battista' embodies the elegance and refinement of the Renaissance. It has a bright straw-yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. To the nose, it offers a fresh bouquet with fruity notes of apple, accompanied by aromas of white flowers and a hint of yeast. The palate is fresh, harmonious and balanced. Thanks to its versatility, this sparkling wine is perfect for any occasion.Read More

Chardonnay "Monteleto" Semonte
Description
In the picturesque hills of Gubbio, at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level, where the temperate climate and the soil are ideal for growing vines, a wine of extraordinary balance is born. With its characteristic straw-yellow colour, this Chardonnay is an ode to nature and oenological know-how. The vineyard is trained in the Guyot method and has 6300 plants per hectare. The southern exposure and the presence of loose, medium-textured soils with a limestone skeleton give the wine a distinct personality and fruit. Harvested by hand, the grapes are gently crushed before fermenting at controlled temperatures with selected yeasts in stainless steel vats to preserve all the aromatic notes. At the end of fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for a period of 6 months, a phase that helps to enhance its complexity and depth. It then matures in the bottle for another 6 months to complete its journey. The delicate and fruity bouquet is followed by an elegant and harmonious taste, which makes this wine particularly suitable for first courses based on fish or vegetables. Its versatility also extends to hors d'oeuvres, charcuterie and cheese platters, first courses with white truffles, pasta with meat sauce and red meats.Read More
