Petrilli Description

Grapes grown organically from the winery’s estate vineyards.
60% Nero di Troia, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Bombino. Harvest mid-September for the Sangiovese, early-October for Montepulciano and Bombino, end-October for Nero di Troia. Whole-berry fermentation. Natural yeast fermentation in tronconic vats of French and Slovenian oak. Aged in stainless steel. Bottled after one year, unfiltered.

The oddly named DOC literally means “to take out, and put in”, a reference to working hard in the fields where you take out your pay, and put in your time, take out the fruits of your labor after you put in the hard work. This is the only DOC wine produced by the winery. Agramante is a reference from literature, and is the name of the Saracen King of North Africa, who in Ludovico Ariosto’s Epic “Orlando Furioso”, has invaded Europe to avenge his father’s death, thus finding himself at war with the Christian emperor Charlemagne. 14.5% alcohol.
