Collesanti Bellone

Marco Carpineti began his adventure in wine from a small country house with a pergola of grapes along the Via Francigena, south of Rome, as a legacy of his ancestors. Marco Carpineti is the wine born from the stories of the elderly, from the valorisation of ancient grapes which takes the shape of the hills of Tenuta Capolemole in Cori. The Marco Carpineti winery sees the future of wine in the past, in archaic varieties, in slow and natural agriculture.

Bellone, Greco Moro and Nero Buono are the native grapes found. Marco Carpineti began, like a pioneer, a living dream which is a company that must be vision, territory, innovation.

The harvest is carried out by hand in September. The harvested and selected grapes are subjected to soft pressing of whole grapes. Spontaneous fermentation at a controlled temperature then follows. Before being bottled, the wine ages in steel for a few months.

Marco Carpineti’s Collesanti Cori DOC Bellone is produced with Bellone grapes, an indigenous vine that has always been cultivated in Cori. It comes from the Collesanti cru, one of the seven hills of the Capolemole estate. The type of soil, exposure and natural fermentation express the character of this wine.
