CURIOSITY OF VERNACCIA NERA OF SERRAPETRONA VINE

HISTORY
The production of Vernaccia dates from the fifteenth century. It comes from grapes of the same name, cultivated since ancient times. Please remember that Conti, in his "Storia di Camerino e dintorni", reports that in the Middle Ages a Polish in the pay of mercenary troops drawn from the Vernaccia produced in the area exclaimed: "Domine, Domine quare non Borgianasti regiones nostras" (Lord, Lord,Why don’t you have done our lands as a Borgia? - Borgia is a village in the municipality of Serrapetrona). It is certain that in 1893 the production was so small that you gave to her extinct variety, Vernaccia black, although in 1876 an official document of the Ministry of Agriculture "Bulletin ampelographic", underlined that "since 1872 Vernaccia was declared the first color of the grapes to provide excellent table wines.". Rare wine, fortunately production was very limited while maintaining the quality, but much appreciated-known writers such as Mario Soldati, and famous restaurateurs have celebrated its virtues.
PRODUCTION
Vineyards are considered suitable if the arrangement and orientation have a suitable altitude above 700 meters, excluding land in the valley or not sufficiently sunny and those predominantly clay. The vine of Vernaccia floushishes between the area of Caccamo Lake and the watershed of power, involving the territories of Belforte and S.Severino. However, its center is in Serrapetrona and rightly takes its name. The Territory is exclusively mountainous or hilly with slopes cut by deep valleys, reaching the highest altitude in the Mount Air (m.957), minimum downstream of Lake Borgia (m.240). Lining the steep slopes and deep valleys of the woods and copses of oak, ash, hornbeam, alder and hazel. The soil is particularly favorable to the olive, the vine thrives while everywhere, that here indeed produces the quality of black grapes from small grains, which is famous for its Vernaccia Serrapetrona, in fact, thanks to the soil and ideal climate, the grapes growing up are of exceptional quality. Countless are now the vineyards with vine "Vernaccia". From Toledo to Serrapetrona the road is all ups and downs, a few kilometers seems to go from plain to mountain. With our eyes we see the expanse of vines that produce the Vernaccia, which is exported abroad in small quantities. The wine is Vernaccia di Serrapetrona D.O.C. officially recognized and protected by the Presidential Decree Of 7/22/71 and D.O.C.G. since 2003.
