Frammento Orvieto Classico DOC : a white wine rooted in tradition and spirituality

Frammento Orvieto Classico DOC captures both the history of the land and the spirit of the people who have cultivated it for centuries. The name Frammento refers to the small fossilized seashells embedded in the soils of Decugnano, remnants of an ancient sea that once covered the region. These fragments symbolize the continuity between past and present, offering a taste that reflects both the earth’s ancient origins and modern winemaking artistry.But the symbolism goes even deeper. The Latin phrase “Tantum esse sub fragmento, tantum toto tegitur” printed on the bottle speaks to a profound theological concept—just as the whole of divinity can be present in a fragment of the Eucharist, so too can the entirety of the terroir be experienced in each sip of this wine. This reference to the 1264 Eucharistic Miracle in Orvieto underlines the deep connection between the region’s religious and viticultural heritage.

A Testament to Umbria’s Unique Terroir

Made from a blend of grapes grown in the Orvieto area, Frammento offers a complex yet balanced flavor profile. On the nose, expect a bright bouquet of floral and citrus aromas, while the palate delivers refreshing minerality with layers of crispness and subtle depth. This wine’s structure is a direct reflection of the rich, limestone soils in which its vines thrive. Fermented in stainless steel to retain its fresh, pure qualities, Frammento is as versatile as it is sophisticated.

Celebrated Around the World

Frammento has garnered attention from wine experts across the globe, earning accolades from James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast, and the coveted Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso. With its refined elegance and ability to pair effortlessly with a variety of dishes, from light seafood to more complex fare, Frammento Orvieto Classico is an exceptional choice for any wine enthusiast seeking to explore the essence of Umbria.
