Discover the irresistible charm of Di Filippo 'Villa Conversino' Rosso from the picturesque hills of Umbria, Italy. Crafted by the Di Filippo family, whose commitment to organic and sustainable farming is renowned, this wine is a testament to traditional Italian viticulture and respect for nature. Nestled in the mineral-rich, clay-calcareous soils overlooking Assisi, the vineyards are tended using time-honoured, low-impact methods: draught horses gently plough the earth while a free-roaming flock of geese naturally maintain the land's biodiversity.
The estate's artistry extends from the vine to the bottle. Hand-harvested fruit from the coveted Conversino vineyard is fermented with wild, indigenous yeasts, ensuring that each bottle authentically expresses the region's unique terroir. With a blend dominated by plush Merlot and complemented by the classic vibrancy of Sangiovese, 'Villa Conversino' Rosso is a true celebration of Umbria's winemaking heritage.
