"Corniolo" Colli del Trasimeno DOC Rosso 2018

Located in the heart of Etruscan Umbria, Cantina del Trasimeno is a beautiful cooperative that was founded thanks to the commitment of the winegrowers of the municipalities that overlook the shores of Lake Trasimeno, and is today one of the most important Umbrian realities. In addition to the classic traditional grape varieties such as Grechetto, Trebbiano and Sangiovese, the winery also successfully works with different international varieties. In particular, for years it has been the protagonist of a study aimed at enhancing the Gamay, also known here as Gamay Perugino or Trasimeno Gamay. Over the years the structure of the Cantina del Trasimeno has grown very large, reaching the point of vinifying almost 12,000 tons of grapes in the early 1980s. So, after an inevitable downsizing phase, linked to the progressive ageing of the vineyards, the winery has literally changed gears, focusing no longer on quantity but especially on the production of high quality wines. Work has thus begun on the renovation of the vineyards and winemaking facilities. The Duca della Corgna line was created with this in mind, taking its name from the Duchy of Castiglione del Lago and its founder, Marquis Ascanio dell' Corgna. Today the winery can count on about 200 members who work with passion on a total area of about 300 hectares of vineyards.
