CIMAIO
Marche IGT
Strength born of time and resilience — in a word, Cimaio. A Marche IGT white wine made from Verdicchio grapes touched by a unique 'noble rot,' from which it draws its bold, enveloping flavors. Irresistible alongside the most flavorful dishes and acclaimed with numerous awards, Cimaio embodies the essence of CasalFarneto — time and expertise in service of taste.

Cimaio is produced in the inland of central Le Marche, in the company-owned vineyards. The soil is of a medium to loose consistency, with a southeast exposure. Grapes, completely attached to their noble rot, are harvested in advanced state of ripening. The wine is obtained with the technique of “fermentation in white”: the “vinification” process occurs half in small wooden barrels and half in steel tanks. The refining process takes six months in steel and wood tanks, then another six months in steel tanks and finally 12 to 18 months in bottles.
Colour: Yellow with golden reflections.
Perfume: It exudes sweet scents of vanilla followed by mature notes of quince, honey, almond and spiced nuances.
Flavour: In the mouth, it emerges its full body structure. On the nose, fruit notes prevail. Mineral, slightly bitter, but rounded, soft, warm and savoury – very persistent.
