Back in time there were two villages, Montrone and Canneto and they were rivals. Later, they were joined and turned into a single town called Adelfia, from the Greek adelphos, which means “brotherhood”. Mons-Roni Cannitum was born with this ancient feud in mind, and with the idea of creating a wine that would unite the two towns in an ideal hug. The wine is obtained from 70% Verdeca, 20% Malvasia and 10% Moscatello Selvatico grapes. The vineyards are cultivated over calcareous-clay soils and with the use of biodynamic practices. Harvest is done by hand with the use of small wooden crates. Fermentation is spontaneous, without addition of any kind of yeast. Wine is unfiltered unfined, and aged in steel after a long maceration on the skins.
