THE WINE
A new wine from the brother and sister team of dreams in Umbria. With the rapidly declining population of the region as young people leave the farming communities there are numerous parcels coming available as there elderly custodians struggle to find anyone interested in continuing to farm here. Thus Andrea and Pilar have sought out special old vine plots to showcase their local varietals at the aged potential. For Vigne Altre they have a specific plot of 100 year old Trebbiano planted on calcareous soils.
Super lean and rich at the same time. Chalky notes from the limestone rich soils balance out the more robust characteristics of Trebbiano.
THE PEOPLE
Andrea and Pilar, brother and sister, represent the next generation of the Gritti family. Following their studies and travels around the world, the two began their journey in the family business, deciding quickly to launch an original project, allowing them to invest their passion, skills and love for wine. They quickly replaced the conventional farming techniques of their parents and moved the wines into organic management, followed by allowing natural fermentation to take place.
THE PLACE
Umbria, often called the "green heart" of Italy, produces wines that reflect its rolling hills, diverse microclimates, and rich agricultural traditions. Known for both red and white wines, the region’s most famous varieties include Sagrantino—a bold, tannic red native to Montefalco—and Grechetto, a crisp, structured white often used in blends like Orvieto. Umbrian wines tend to be earthy, expressive, and food-friendly, with many producers embracing organic and traditional methods. Though often overshadowed by neighboring Tuscany, Umbria offers distinctive, character-driven wines with strong ties to place and heritage.
