Case Sparse Rosso is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Ciliegiolo from the Conestabile della Staffa estate in Monte Melino, in the Trasimeno-Perugino subzone of Umbria. The vineyards sit at 250-300 meters above sea level on clay soils with a calcareous base, close to Lake Trasimeno. Vines on the 12-hectare property have never been treated with chemicals and are farmed organically.
Winemaker Danilo Marcucci uses spontaneous fermentation with just 3 days of skin contact, then ages the wine in stainless steel until bottling in spring. No fining, no filtration, and no added sulfites. The result is a wine that stays close to the fruit and the soil without technical intervention.
Ciliegiolo is named for the Italian word for cherry and brings soft tannins, juicy red fruit, and a slightly floral character to the blend. Sangiovese provides structure and a savory, earthy backbone. Together, the two grapes make a light-to-medium-bodied red that drinks well with a slight chill.
Danilo Marcucci relaunched winemaking at this historic estate in 2015, ending a gap that stretched back to 1956, when the family last produced wine on site. The estate had supplied grapes to the local co-op for nearly sixty years before Danilo, who married into the Conestabile della Staffa family, began vinifying on the property again.
