Five different grapes from Alta Maremma in a truly unique 1-liter bottle to uncork in company: it is called Unlitro and it is the perfect blend for the summer signed by Ampeleia. Light but certainly not superficial, it is an Italian red wine to be served fresh, ideal for toasts and summer celebrations, conceived for the pleasure of sharing. Five different varieties give shape to the blend: Alicante Nero, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet; which, together, give life to the pop icon of the famous Tuscan winery. A wine that can tell the light air of the high hills of Roccatederighi and the gentle viticulture that made it grow.
Unlitro Ampeleia: the blend of Alicante Nero, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet
Outdoor toasts, summer dinners and celebrations: the holiday season is perfect for conviviality, especially if it is centered on good wine and food. And that is precisely why we need Unlitro, the iconic wine from the Ampeleia winery with its 1-liter bottle, which embodies the art of being together, to be uncorked in company.
A fresh and light Italian red wine that surprises with its fruity notes and its drinkability, which knows how to express the land of Alta Maremma in a sincere and never pretentious way.
The five grape varieties that make up this blend – Alicante Nero, Carignano, Mourvèdre, Sangiovese and Alicante Bouschet – are grown with the Tyrrhenian Sea on one side and the embrace of the high forest on the other.
Since 2011, Unlitro has represented the young and fun spirit of the company and has proven capable of communicating the gentle philosophy of Ampeleia, which aims to preserve without altering, to amaze without stunning.
The perfect chilled Italian red wine for summer parties
Unlitro comes from Ampeleia’s youngest vineyards, those located closest to the sea, between 200 and 350 meters above sea level.
This hillside, with good ventilation and different sun exposures, is characterized by the influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the clay soil enriched with deposits of silt and marine fossils.
From here, Ampeleia aims to preserve what nature gives, without transforming, with the utmost respect for the land and the work done in the vineyard. The result is a wine with a great identity far from stereotypes, obtained with the exclusive use of cement tanks for both fermentation and refinement and a light maceration of two or three days on the skins.
With Unlitro, Ampeleia reinterprets wine in its ancient function with a contemporary and youthful freshness, transforming every occasion into a true celebration. The spicy and balsamic notes and the fruit are the perfect match for outdoor tables and summer evenings.
