Terre di Serrapetrona

Terre di Serrapetrona is a winery that focuses all its efforts on enhancing the ancient native grape variety Vernaccia Nera, producing a unique wine.

Terre di Serrapetrona: tradition, research, and innovation

The Terre di Serrapetrona winery was established in 1999 as “Tenuta Colli di Serrapetrona,” and has always been based on a research project focused on Vernaccia Nera, an ancient native grape variety from the area, historically cultivated in Serrapetrona.

The winery is located in the Macerata hills, in the heart of the Marche region, with its vineyards perched on steep slopes at an altitude of 500 meters, overlooking the valleys at the foot of the Sibillini Mountains, fading into the distance until reaching the Adriatic Sea.

The Terre di Serrapetrona winery, owned by the Graidi family, spans an area of 66 hectares, of which about 20 are dedicated to viticulture, managed according to conventional agronomic standards while maximizing respect for the balance of the environment, nature, ecosystem, and biodiversity, leading to the harvesting of qualitatively excellent bunches, healthy and pure, rich and concentrated in every subtle organoleptic nuance.

In the winery, the winemaking leadership has recently transitioned from Sandro Paciotti to Fabrizio Ciufoli, but the guidelines followed remain the same, aimed at achieving the highest possible quality standards, working to enhance and highlight everything that the season and the territory have shaped in the grapes.

Terre di Serrapetrona: unique and original quality wines

The commitment of Terre di Serrapetrona is to enhance the ancient native grape variety Vernaccia Nera. The agricultural estate covers 66 hectares, of which about 20 are dedicated to viticulture. 80% of the vines represent the native grape variety Vernaccia Nera; they also cultivate Pecorino, Sauvignon, and Sangiovese.

From historical sources, particularly documents found in the library of Baron Spitalieri dating back to the mid-1800s, the Vernaccia Nera grape variety is defined as the best red grape variety present in the Marche. For this reason, reviving the Vernaccia is like rediscovering traditions and becoming aware of the uniqueness of this territory.

The rugged territory, altitude, and other morphological characteristics distinguish the grape variety as tenacious as the work of man. For these reasons, Vernaccia Nera is a wine that is indissolubly linked to its land, making it original and identical only to itself.

The Terre di Serrapetrona winery harvests the grapes according to the level of ripeness suitable for the wine they want to produce. From the grapes destined for drying, after months of aging, they will obtain Robbione, the reserve wine, and Sommo, the passito wine.
Later, they focus on harvesting Collequanto, the flagship wine of the winery that represents a unique experience in its own right.

The Pinot Noir vineyard is dedicated to producing a quality rosé sparkling wine, Blink. The color, flavor, and aroma express beauty and joy, la vie en rose.

From Sangiovese, we produce a great red wine, and from the Pecorino and Sauvignon varietals, we create an elegant and fresh white wine.

From this work, born from passion and traditions, come the wines signed by Cantine Terre di Serrapetrona such as: Blink Rosato Brut, Robbione, Sommo, and Collequanto.
Award-winning wines recognized also by the Awards of The Wine Hunter.
