RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

For centuries, the indigenous Vernaccia Nera varietal has been cultivated and protected in Serrapetrona, a small town on the edge of the central Apennines in the Marches region. It is different from the types of Vernaccia grown in San Gimignano (Tuscany) and Oristano (Sardinia) both of which are white grapes.

Rare, in Marche, and thus produced in very limited quantities, it is made in two different styles, a triple fermented  DOCG sparkling (we invite you to view the winery’s catalogue using the website link provided for more info.) and dry, both of which are red.

Production in the 19th cent. bordered on extinction. Of the 6 wineries still growing 32 hectares of the varietal, Quacquarini was the first to grow it following its 1958 opening.
