IGT Sangiovese Umbria
"Campo della Fiera " Sangiovese Umbria IGT

Sangiovese Umbria IGT of 'Castello di Corbara Winery' is the result of a blend of several varieties of grapes:
mainly Sangiovese, with a presence of Merlot and Cabernet. The vineyards from which the bunches are harvested
are located at various altitudes and exposures, and the consistency of the soil they're planted on varies from
medium to loose. The vineyards are carefully monitored during every phenological phase with the aim of
achieving high - quality grapes. Once ripe, the grapes are separately harvested depending on the variety and the
field of origin, a distinction preserved also for vinification and maceration, which take place separately as well:
these processes happen in steel containers for a period of 12 – 15 days, at controlled temperature. When
malolactic fermentation succeeds the initial fermentation, the wine is bottle-aged for around 2-3 months; then it
can be put on the market.
