TASTING NOTES
The distinctive mineral and sapid character produced by the soil on the cliffs of Focara completes a very individual sensory personality.
PRODUCER
Fattoria Mancini is a family owned winery, established in 1861. The vineyards, of around 20 hectares, are located in the Natural Park of Mount San Bartolo, at the very north of the Marche Region. They sit above the spectacular cliffs of Focara on the Adriatic coast, a few kilometres from the town of Pesaro.
The principal grape variety of Fattoria Mancini is Pinot Noir, introduced into this area at the start of the nineteenth century by the Napoleonic administration and preserved by the family for five generations of winegrowers. After two centuries of evolution and adaptation this particular Pinot Noir is now quite rightly considered a local grape.
VINEYARD
IMPERO Brut de Pinot Noir is the latest wine to be developed using Fattoria Mancini’s long experience in white vinification of Pinot Noir grapes.
Made from a blend of five vintages produced from 2006 to 2015, the first Cuvée went on the market in 2017.
The cool microclimate of this stretch of north orientated coast and the calcareous sandstone soil allow the production of long lived wines with a great balance between structure, depth, freshness and elegance.
WINERY
The base is made by whole bunches soft pressing, followed by barrel fermentation, oak aging for seven months and finally bottle refermentation in the Estate’s own cellar as a Metodo Classico. The blending of so many vintages in the cuvée gives this wine impressive complexity and persistence.
