The red wine 'Nero' of Podere Orto is the most prestigious label of the winery and represents the wine that can be forgotten in the cellar for years only to be rediscovered on important festive occasions to be shared with those you love. It is made from pure red Grechetto grapes, a variety native to Lazio that can give wines structure and, together with good acidity, guarantees a long life, provided the wine is properly stored. 
A series of characteristics that are all contained in the 'Nero' bottles, with the addition of scents of ripe red berries. The grapes come from a high hillside vineyard located between 620 and 650 metres above sea level, with vines that are between 50 and 25 years old. Cultivation takes place in an isolated context, where vine cultivation is not predominant and intensive, where woods, meadows and rivers guarantee biodiversity. Giuliano and Simona continue their philosophy of organic production, supported by biodynamic practices, with no synthetic chemical inputs in the vineyard or in the cellar, reducing the use of sulphites to a minimum. The result is a vintage wine that is different every year, with distinctive characteristics. 
Harvesting, strictly by hand, takes place in the third week of October when the grapes have reached perfect phenolic ripeness. The grapes are partially destemmed and fermented in small 10 hectolitre vats, with daily manual punching down. The 'Nero' matures for 24 months in fibreglass vats and for two years in the bottle.
In the glass, it has an intense ruby red colour and intense, fragrant aromas of red berry fruits, accompanied by an intriguing undertone of spice. The palate is full-bodied, with a well-defined, structured tannic texture. The finish is long with excellent persistence and is enveloping. 
Perfect with red meats, game and structured dishes, Nero also goes well with mature cheeses and dried fruit, making it the ideal protagonist of a convivial dinner or a moment of gastronomic meditation.
