Profilo Aziendale
COMPANY
Our vineyards lay at the foot of the hills of Poggio Berni overlooked by the Palazzo Marcosanti, a 13th century medieval fortified castle owned by the Malatesta Dynasty and later inhabited by some of the most important noble families of Italy (Della Rovere, Doria, Medici, etc..). In the nineteenth century it was inhabited by a noble family from Sogliano sul Rubicone, the Marcosanti. The old toponymic maps show a complex of houses and a building
called “Villa” situated where the Uso river meets the church of Camerano. This was inhabited in the mid nineteenth century by Dr. NH Pompeo Marcosanti and since then this “Borghetto” has been known as the “Case Marcosanti”and their descendants, through the female line, still live there today. In 1948, in fact, Chiarina Marcosanti married Tino Antoniacci and together with their children Luigi and Paola, carried out a consolidated production of typical romagnolo wines, at the same time as persuing their professional careers in sectors other than agriculture. In short a true family passion which has kept alive the vocation and tradition of a wine region.
The vineyards surrounding the villa and winery, are well cared for, and are the most authentic traditional vines of Romagna: Sangiovese and Trebbiano Romagnolo. Great attention is given to the quality of grapes together with the highest respect for the environment and the health of workers and consumers.
We use the latest technology in the winery but at the same time we have tried to maintain the traditional production methods: well-kept wooden vats for fermentation, barrels for the aging of red wines and steel tanks for white wines.
WINES
Case Marcosanti Wines have been produced with grapes grown in the hills of Poggio Berni (RN), at Azienda Agricola Antoniacci Tino – Luigi - Paola-SS (via Chiesa di Camerano, 369, Camerano – Poggio Berni, Rimini), Registered Office: Via Togliatti, 7 – 47822 Santarcangelo di Romagna (RN).
The care given to the vines together with the environmental conditions produce a strong and determined wine, emulating the people of Romagna.
The fermentation and the subsequent ageing of red wines are carried out in wooden containers in the truest romagnolo tradition. White wines are not produced by the pressing of grapes, but, as in former times, by “raising the hat”. After pressing-rasping, the grapes are left to ferment in steel containers with selected yeast and, when the marcs rise to the surface they are removed and fermentation continues on the clean must. Selected yeasts are used for fermentation, but we avoid disturbing the wine too much, in order to preserve its naturalness and its territorial identity.
