" We don't sell the wine without touching the vine "
Wine from Pitray

Vine pruning, timber pulling, bending, clamping and lifting, sorting of grapes … All this careful process is carried out by hand in full respect of the vines so that they offer us between the end of September and the beginning of October, during the long awaited harvest, beautiful fruit suitable for vinification.
No herbicide is used to preserve environment.
After filling the vats equipped with temperature control, during the cold maceration , the juice develops complex aromas. Then, the vats are gently warmed to awaken the indigenous yeasts and launch the alcoholic fermentation.
We taste the vats every day with Nina Mitjavile to decide the care to be given to each one and to favor the generosity and the expression of the fruit. After the fermentations, the wine is descended in stainless steel tanks or barrels of oak for the breeding .
Again, tasting guides us: the fruity wines are raised in vats to cultivate gluttony and freshness while the more complex wines are aged in barrels for 12 to 18 months to magnify the structure and elegance.
All our wines are matured in vats or barrels and bottled at the property.

The nose here is brilliantly red fruited, with layer upon layer of subtle spice, bright floral notes, herbs, and stone. Its not all poetry and pageantry, though, and the first impression of the wine was simply, “oh that’s goooood.” A fair assessment, and sometimes that it all one requires. Further tastes show fine tannin throughout, a juicy, vibrant mouthfeel that is very likeable, and deft, long-developing layers of fruit that reveal themselves severally.
Patton Valley's flagship wine, The Estate is the most comprehensive expression of their vineyard site, and the wine that truly defines their place in a given vintage.
Review:
"Glistening red. Vibrant red fruit, floral and spice scents show very good clarity that picks up subtle hints of succulent herbs and smoky minerals with air. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, the 2017 offers gently sweet cherry raspberry and rose pastille flavors and a touch of spicecake. Smooth, well-integrated tannins make a late appearance on a long, floral-tinged finish that shows no rough edges.

Famiglia Cotarella Falesco Vitiano Rosso Umbria is made from 34% Sangiovese, 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wine has an intense red color with violet reflections. The aroma has fruity notes in great balance with the sweetness of the wood. The taste is strong, round, pleasant with a rich and harmonic finish.
Review:
Blackberry, graphite and white pepper aromas that follow through to a medium body with light, fine tannins and a savory finish. Delicate and delicious. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese. Drink now.
