LA PIEVE (IGT Umbria Bianco)

Wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, harvested manually during the first week of September from a vineyard reared in spurred cordon with an average production of about 50 tons/hectare. After being transported in small cases, they are subjected to a short cryomaceration before a low pressure pressing. Fermentation with natural yeasts without temperature control. Aging for a short period in steel and only mechanical filtration before bottling.

Sensory Card: Straw yellow colour tending to greenish, pleasantly fresh with a sustained acidity and an elegant background of ripe fruit. Perfect with risotto and white meats, hot appetizers based on fish and vegetables. Serve at temperatures between 8 and 10 °C.

Our story begins in the mid-1920s, when the Brugnoni family moved to Pieve Pagliaccia. At the “Fattoria di Pieve Pagliaccia,” our grandparents cultivated a small “farm” and carried out an important livestock activity as sharecroppers.

But the turning point came in 1959, when our family decided to take a courageous and seemingly risky step: the company managed until then under a sharecropping contract was purchased “behind closed doors.”

It was at the end of the 1950s that the present-day Brugnoni Agricola came to life with great satisfaction. Over the years, we have implemented production systems and crops, never forgetting our origins.

The company has maintained a strong family imprint based on respect for traditions, history, and the territory that surrounds us.

We are very attentive to environmental sustainability criteria, adopting only low-impact agronomic practices and producing the electricity we consume from renewable sources.

Experience, professionalism, and tireless dedication to work in the ‘field’ have allowed us to achieve high standards of quality in food safety, without ever losing sight of the most genuine essence of our craft: that peasant soul that we cultivate with devotion and passion year after year.
