Paolo e Noemia d’Amico S.r.l. Località Palombaro – Vaiano – 01024 Castiglione in Teverina (VT)
It is called Villa Tirrena, after the magnificent mansion, with breathtaking views over the Valle dei Calanchi, owned by Paolo and Noemia d'Amico. In this case, however, it is one of the fine wines produced by the couple, a Lazio IGP made from Merlot and Syrah grapes. Grapes harvested in vineyards located between Rome and Florence, on the border with Umbria, at an altitude of about 450 metres above sea level. Super careful vinification, after processing the wine is left to mature in French oak barriques of first, second and third passage. This delicate phase lasts for about 10 months. It is then bottled and stored in the cellar for another 10 months or so. The result is a wine characterised by a crystal-clear, intense ruby red colour. On the nose, Villa Tirrena reveals itself to be decisive and persistent, with clearly recognisable notes of red fruits, cherries and spices. In the mouth, however, it is ripe and complex, with structured and elegant tannins, all well softened by the long passage in barriques. Excellent with main courses of red meat, roasts and game.
The history of this small boutique winery is strongly linked to that of its two founders. Paolo, a descendant of a family of ship-owners for three generations, has always been passionate about wine, ever since he strolled through the old cellars of the family home as a child. Noemia, on the other hand, was born in Rio de Janeiro, of Portuguese origin, from Porto. Her grandparents, upon arriving in Brazil, brought with them the historical tradition of wine. In 1985, after years of working in other activities, the two decided to start the project of their new winery, which was immediately based on elegance and exclusivity. In the countryside, the grapes are selected and harvested by hand. While the production phase is followed, step by step, by oenologist and agronomist Guillaume Gelly. The result is an award-winning portfolio of eight labels, organically produced, mainly from French vines, on volcanic soils in the Calanchi Valley in Umbria. Small curiosity. While waiting to reach the shelves of wine shops and restaurants, the wines are stored in cellars created by Noemia d'Amico and architect Luca Brasini. Carved out of tufa rocks, the cellar has magnificent arches that create an enchanting pathway and where classical music is played. A magical place to pamper excellent wines.
