Divina Villa, 100% Trasimeno Gamay grapes produced by members of the winery with vineyards located on the hills of Castiglione del Lago, Paciano and Panicale. A rather late variety, the harvest begins on October 15, when the grapes are slightly overripe. The grapes are brought to the cellar, crushed and destemmed, and immediately sent to the fermentation phase. Maceration on the skins continues for about 20 days. Then, after racking, malolactic fermentation and maturation take place in French oak barriques, located in the historic cellars of the sixteenth-century palace of the Duca della Corgna in Città dell' Pieve. In total, the wine remains in wood for about 12 months, and is then bottled starting in February, two years after harvesting. Dark and intense ruby red colour, the nose reveals fine and complex notes. Notes of wild berries, underbrush fruit and subtle vegetal tones. In the mouth it is dry, ample and elegant, with notes of red fruit and fine spices.
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.
