Umani Ronchi

The Bernetti family has always loved the indigenous grape varieties of Marche and Abruzzo. Gambero Rosso, the Italian wine bible, named Umani Ronchi «Cantina dell’Anno 2024».

Verdicchio is still considered an insider’s tip. Legend relates that during his sack of Rome in the fourth century, Alaric, the King of the Visigoths, turned to this mineral white wine – as a way to revitalise his troops. One thing is certain: Verdicchio and the Marche wines in general can look forward to a bright future. The innovative Umani Ronchi winery, with its internationally acclaimed and technically perfect wines, such as the sensational Cru Cùmaro, is playing a significant role here.

Elite winery on the Adriatic coast

The model company run by Massimo Bernetti and his son Michele are among the elite of the narrow premium segment of Marche. This winemaking family owns 200 hectares of prime vineyard land in Marche as well as 30 hectares of vines in neighbouring Abruzzo. The declared goal of the Bernettis is to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the terroir and the grape varieties of Marche and Abruzzo.
